Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin’s blog post highlighting the threats he sees artificial intelligence (AI) could pose to humanity has attracted many fiery responses from AI and blockchain community members.
On Nov. 27, Buterin published a blog post titled My techno-optimism, which discussed how AI is “fundamentally different” from other inventions like guns, airplanes, and social media. Furthermore, Buterin explained that it could develop a new form of “mind,” which could work against humans and become the new apex species.
