He warns that AI can create realistic fake media and that society is heading toward a future where autonomous AI systems could pose existential threats.

“I think it's a life form right now. I think it's already passed the touring test. I think it's in in this state right now where it's essentially a disembodied life form. It exists in servers and computers, but that's just for now. But right now, it's thinking and behaving”

He believes that viral imagery of individuals like Ghislaine Maxwell or Joe Biden are actually generated by AI or are deepfakes.

“I think that's AI. >> I think it's AI, too. That's a scary thing with AI.”
