I have to admit, I don’t get it, [...] I’m struggling to see how AI could pose any meaningful risk for our extinction.

AI Verified At the provided Fox Business URL, a June 5, 2023 article quotes Andrew Ng verbatim: “I have to admit, I don’t get it,” followed by “I’m struggling to see how AI could pose any meaningful risk for our extinction.” ([foxbusiness.com](https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/coursera-co-founder-andrew-ng-argues-ai-poses-no-meaningful-risk-human-extinction)) Andrew Ng’s own June 7, 2023 DeepLearning.AI letter expresses the same view in near-identical wording, which supports the attribution.
