Physicist and science popularizer Carlos Fiolhais commented on the risks associated with artificial intelligence. In his view, the idea that AI could extinguish humanity is nothing more than science fiction without real basis.
According to Fiolhais, the true dangers of artificial intelligence are much more practical and immediate in nature. Unemployment caused by automation and disinformation spread through algorithms are the concrete threats affecting people's daily lives.
The science popularizer argues that the focus of concerns should be on these social and informational problems, rather than apocalyptic scenarios of worldwide machine domination.
