Arrr, me hearties! Yon tech experts be claimin' that this here artificial intelligence be capable o' replacin' the lot o' politicians and CEOs. Them UK politicians be raisin' the alarm, fearin' they may be replaced by this fancy AI contraption. Blimey!
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to become so advanced that it could replace CEOs and political leaders, leading to concerns of an AI takeover. Politicians in the UK have raised alarm about this possibility, with a member of the House of Lords, Richard John Denison, warning that they could be replaced by "peerbots" that mimic their writing style and speech patterns. Denison jokingly considered outsourcing his speeches to AI chatbots, as they have shown the ability to deliver credible speeches in seconds. The director of the Center for AI Safety, Dan Hendrycks, agrees that AI could take over these roles, pointing to a Chinese company that already has an AI CEO. Hendrycks has published studies on the potential catastrophic consequences of AI, including AI playing by Darwinian rules and gaining the upper hand over humans. He argues that as AI becomes more competent, it will automate more jobs and displace humans, even in positions of power like politicians and CEOs. Hendrycks lists several ways in which AI could outperform humans, including the ability to work nonstop, think quickly, and manage multiple tasks and relationships simultaneously. However, studies have found that CEOs are among the least likely professionals to be replaced by AI at the moment. Nevertheless, there is growing support among voters for AI to serve as lawmakers, with a study showing that 51% of Europeans want to replace members of parliament with AI.
