The Spin
The AI Safety Clock is a symbolic attempt to highlight the urgent need for domestic and international actors alike to wake up and finally acknowledge the real risks that new technology poses to the world. While there's is still time to avoid disaster, it's imperative that humanity acts now before we have passed the point of no return.
A Saudi-backed business school's newly-released AI Safety Clock is yet another example of sensationalist AI doomerism. Ironically, the very same month that the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists debunked outrageous claims of AI hyperbole, IMD cheaply recreated theirits Doomsday Clock without any scientific justification for its existence.
