The president of Microsoft, Brad Smith, stated that there is no possibility of super-intelligent artificial intelligence being developed in the next 12 months and cautioned that it could take many decades for the technology to be realized. This comes after news of OpenAI cofounder Sam Altman being temporarily removed as CEO, following concerns from researchers about a potential dangerous discovery related to the company’s pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI). However, Smith rejected claims of a dangerous breakthrough, emphasizing the need for safety measures in AI systems. These developments have sparked discussions about the ethical and safety implications of advancing AI technology.
