Google’s AI Chief John Giannandrea has suggested Silicon Valley executives' fears of artificial intelligence technology are overblown. " In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, the Google executive said that while he believes there is an “existential threat” to humanity, it doesn’t mean we should stop working on it. "I think it's perfectly reasonable to discuss [the concerns], but what I object to is the belief that it's inevitable... and I think that if we have better machine intelligence, it need not be scary, it can augment us", said Giannandrea.
