Fields Medalist James Maynard:
"I've been interested and I've been following AI, but I've heard all these predictions that just sound like sci-fi and I've been consistently dismissive and skeptical of all of them.
But I've been consistently wrong. The people who sound like they're talking from a sci-fi novel are the people who've been making much much more accurate predictions.
The risks posed by artificial intelligence are an emergency that should not be dismissed as hype."
