AI creations could become 'new silicon species' says head of Microsoft AI | BBC News

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman warns that developing AIs with self-setting objectives could lead to a "new silicon species" competing for resources. He believes treating AI like humans is "mistaken and misguided." These comments from a leader in Artificial Intelligence are part of a series of stark warnings from the AI industry regarding the technology's potential dangers, as discussed on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme.

Unlike previous warnings, Microsoft AI's CEO frames the risk as a "new silicon species" competing for resources, rather than just job displacement or ethical concerns.
