There's a "wall of fear-mongering and doomerism" in the AI world right now.

"Worrying about AI today is like worrying about overpopulation on Mars."

Concerns that AI could pose a threat to humanity is "preposterously ridiculous."

Claiming AI poses an existential threat is "such an extreme" and risks "wip[ing] out some of its potential benefits."

"I'm more concerned about... the risks that are here and now [than the existential threat of AI]."

Current AI is "not anywhere close" to posing an existential threat but it could in the future.

AI is the "biggest existential threat" to humanity.

AGI's worst-case scenario would be "lights-out for all of us."

Powerful AI systems "taking control" pose an "existential threat."

AI has a "10 to 25 per cent" chance of destroying humanity.

"The most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI... is that literally everyone on Earth will die."

Does AI Pose an Existential Threat to Humanity?

Apple is reportedly considering using AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic to enhance its digital assistant Siri, instead of relying only on its own tech. According to Bloomberg, the company asked both firms to train models that can run on its Private Cloud Compute system.

The tech giant has been developing an internal project dubbed "LLM Siri" using Apple Foundation Models, but the enhanced voice assistant has faced multiple delays from its original 2024 launch target to 2026 or later. Apple executives admitted the technology "didn't hit our quality standard" at the company's recent Worldwide Developers Conference.</span

Apple reshuffled its AI leadership, with Vision Pro chief Mike Rockwell now heading Siri after CEO Tim Cook reportedly lost confidence in John Giannandrea. The company also saw key talent exits, including senior large language model (LLM) researcher Tom Gunter.

Apple currently allows users to access OpenAI's ChatGPT through its Apple Intelligence platform for certain web-based queries, but the integration remains optional and user-driven. A deeper third-party integration would represent a significant departure from Apple's traditional approach of controlling the entire user experience with proprietary technology.</span

Bloomberg reports that Apple is leaning toward Anthropic's Claude model as potentially the best fit for Siri, though no final decision has been made and the company continues developing its own AI models. The consideration of third-party models reflects Apple's struggle to keep pace in the rapidly advancing AI market dominated by competitors like Google and OpenAI.</span

The potential move would mirror Samsung's approach with Galaxy AI, which relies primarily on Google's Gemini models while maintaining some custom software components. Apple's stock performance has suffered as investors await a convincing AI strategy, with shares down significantly year-to-date as the company faces mounting pressure to prove its continued innovation leadership.</span

This represents a stunning admission of failure from a company built on innovation leadership. Apple's inability to develop competitive AI technology in-house signals deeper problems with its engineering capabilities and talent retention. The delays and leadership shuffles expose fundamental weaknesses in Apple's AI strategy.

Apple Considers Third-Party AI Models to Power Siri Upgrade

Science & technology

Apple's consideration of third-party AI models shows smart pragmatism over pride. The company recognizes that delivering superior user experiences matters more than maintaining complete technological control. This strategic flexibility could accelerate Siri's competitiveness while Apple continues developing its own capabilities.
