Prof Yann LeCun said some experts' fears of AI posing a threat to humanity were "preposterously ridiculous".
Computers would become more intelligent than humans but that was many years away and "if you realise it's not safe you just don't build it," he said.
That's a remarkably stupid thing for such a supposedly smart person to say.

"It's as if you asked in 1930 to someone how are you going to make a turbo-jet safe? Turbo-jets were not invented yet in 1930, same as human level AI has not been invented yet."
"Turbo jets were eventually made incredibly reliable and safe," and the same would happen with AI he said.
OK, how about nuclear weapons? Have we figured out how to make those safe yet, Einstein?

AI is not a nuclear weapon, it’s more like automobiles.
They kill lots of people, but we still use them.

It's potentially like an automobile with a nuclear weapon strapped to the hood.
But don't worry - if it's not safe, we just won't build it! And the North Koreans will undoubtedly feel the same way.
