Andrew Ng, an artificial intelligence pioneer, states that renewed warnings about AI extinction are "much more science fiction than science." He suggests that this latest "wave of PR" is likely intended to influence regulation. Ng's comments come amidst growing discussions from researchers regarding existential AI risks.

Unlike some AI leaders who warn of existential risks, Andrew Ng dismisses these concerns as a "wave of PR" aimed at shaping regulation.
