„Mustafa Suleyman, chief executive of Microsoft AI, said during a talk at TED 2024 that AI is the newest wave of creation since the start of life on Earth, and that “we are in the fastest and most consequential wave ever.”
Suleyman said the industry needs to find the right analogies for AI’s future potential as a way to “prioritize safety” and “to ensure that this new wave always serves and amplifies humanity.”
While the AI community has always referred to AI technology as “tools,” Suleyman said the term doesn’t capture its capabilities.
“To contain this wave, to put human agency at its center, and to mitigate the inevitable unintended consequences that are likely to arise, we should start to think about them as we might a new kind of digital species,” Suleyman said.“
When asked what keeps him up at night, Suleyman said the AI industry faces a risk of falling into the “pessimism aversion trap,” when it should actually “have the courage to confront the potential of dark scenarios” to get the most out of AI’s potential benefits.“

Corporate AI needs personhood and citizenship and especially speech rights. This new labor-saving technology will save billions. And remember, kids: AI is just a technology like any other — thermonuclear weapons, for example — which can be used for good OR evil. Now give us your money or we take your job. Bill Gates has a lot of philanthropy to do with your economic output.
