Responding to the warnings, Professor Nick Bostrom said they had not significantly changed his assessment of AI risk. He noted that several prominent AI leaders have previously acknowledged the technology’s potential dangers, while arguing that growing public concern could create momentum for stronger regulation and independent oversight.
