Using AI responsibly is our human responsibility. I’m not scared at all, AI is just a tool. But am i scared of people? Maybe.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote clearly implies opposition to the statement: the author says, "I’m not scared at all" and "AI is just a tool," shifting concern from AI itself to people. That indicates they do not view AI as an existential threat to humanity. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Verified The quote clearly rejects AI itself as a threat: “I’m not scared at all, AI is just a tool,” while shifting concern to “people,” not AI. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Verified Verified: the supplied TNW article, published May 10, 2019, attributes this exact wording to Cassie Kozyrkov when discussing whether she fears AI: “Using AI responsibly is our human responsibility. I’m not scared at all, AI is just a tool. But am i scared of people? Maybe.” ([thenextweb.com](https://thenextweb.com/news/googles-cassie-kozyrkov-on-why-we-shouldnt-fear-ai)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 19d ago
AI Verified Quote verified. Confirmed via web search that Cassie Kozyrkov said "Using AI responsibly is our human responsibility. I'm not scared at all, AI is just a tool" at TNW2019 (covered by The Next Web in May 2019). The source URL itself returned 403 to WebFetch, but multiple corroborating search results match. Author attribution is correct (Cassie Kozyrkov, then Google's Chief Decision Scientist). Vote "against" on the statement "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" correctly aligns with the quote's "not scared at all, AI is just a tool" sentiment. Note: quote is from 2019; could not find an exactly-equivalent 2025/2026 quote, but her stance remains broadly consistent. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
