Warren Buffett warnt vor KI-Risiken: Ein „Geist, der mir eine Heidenangst einjagt“ – Die Investmentlegende Warren Buffett warnte am Samstag eindringlich vor künstlicher Intelligenz und verglich den Aufstieg der Technologie mit der Entwicklung von Atomwaffen im Zweiten Weltkrieg.

From the article

>“Other than that I don’t know any way to get the genie back into the bottle. AI is somewhat similar, it’s part [of the] way out of the bottle and its enormously important and it’s going to be done by somebody so we may wish we’d never seen that genie or it may do wonderful things.“

>He specifically cited the rise of deepfake technology, where he described seeing one using his likeness, „and it was delivering a message that in no way came from me. So when you think of the potential for scamming people…scamming has always been part of the American scene but …it’s going to be the growth industry of all time.“

>**The bottom line**: It’s definitely hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but Buffett hardly stands alone in seeing AI as an [existential risk](https://thehill.com/policy/technology/4333125-ai-could-endanger-humanity-in-5-years-former-google-ceo/), or that it will eventually [surpass human intelligence](https://fortune.com/2024/04/09/elon-musk-ai-smarter-than-humans-by-next-year/).
