    much more science fiction than science

    Member of the board of directors, Amazon all’epoca

    Said of warnings that AI could cause human extinction, in the week of the Anthropic and Google DeepMind resignations and Dario Amodei's call to slow the pace. The words are a quoted fragment inside the reporter's sentence ("Andrew Ng has called warnings of existential AI risk 'much more science fiction than science', in an interview with Bloomberg TV"), so they are rendered without a capital or final punctuation. Bloomberg's own report refuses an automated fetch, so the source is the outlet that reproduces the phrase; Startup Fortune carries it in the same form and names the programme as Bloomberg Tech with Ed Ludlow. The date is the date printed on the page cited. The same page reports him arguing that the industry stokes catastrophe fears for publicity and to shape regulation, and putting the odds of AI causing human extinction at roughly one in 10 million over a century at a US Senate forum in December 2023 — both in the reporter's own words, not his, so neither is on the record here.

    Andrew Ng calls the AI extinction warnings science fiction
