    “If AI is truly a transformative technology, if it’s going to change every aspect of everyone’s life, there has to be a public alternative,” Bdeir said.

    I realize any tech CEO is going to claim they’re building a revolutionary product, but this hyperbole is unacceptable. No technology changes every aspect of everyone’s life. Not even the internet and the smartphone has done that. There are tons of things I do on a weekly or even daily basis which I would be doing in virtually the same way without any computer technology available whatsoever.

    Completely and utterly irresponsible. People who make claims like this should be publicly shamed.

      The “if” at the beginning is one of two hypotheticals the ex-Mozilla CEO offers. This one is ridiculously load-bearing.

      The other one is a hypothetical where maybe their AI, which will exist in a vacuum not causing harm, will maybe help an indigenous leader in the future.

      Maybe CEOs shouldn’t be allowed to make predictions, and they shouldn’t be printed as fact.
