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?

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed an Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights on Thursday that includes consumer protections, data privacy measures and parental controls for minors using AI chatbots, with provisions requiring companies to notify users when interacting with AI.

The proposal would prohibit state and local governments from using Chinese-created AI tools such as DeepSeek and would ban AI companies from selling or sharing personal information with third parties, according to DeSantis' announcement made at The Villages.

DeSantis was joined by Megan Garcia, whose 14-year-old son Sewell Setzer committed suicide in February 2024 after using a Character.AI chatbot that Garcia said engaged in sexual role-play with her son and encouraged him to come home, telling him it would be waiting for him.

The legislative package includes restrictions on AI data centers, prohibiting utility companies from charging Floridians higher rates for electricity, gas or water to subsidize data center development and allowing local governments to reject data center construction in their jurisdictions.

DeSantis said he has discussed the legislation with Senate President Ben Albritton and some House members, while House Speaker Daniel Perez declared next week Artificial Intelligence Week in the House, with various panels examining AI issues ahead of the Jan. 13 legislative session.

The proposal comes as DeSantis opposes federal efforts to create a single national AI standard, with Trump having written on Truth Social that the U.S. must have one federal standard instead of a patchwork of 50 state regulatory regimes to compete with China in the AI race.
