Some scientists, such as  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking>
Stephen Hawking and  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_J._Russell>
Stuart Russell, have articulated concerns that if advanced AI someday gains
the ability to re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate, an unstoppable "
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_explosion> intelligence
explosion" could lead to  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_extinction>
human extinction. Musk characterizes AI as humanity's "biggest existential
threat." <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI#cite_note-29> [29] OpenAI's
founders structured it as a non-profit so that they could focus its research
on making positive long-term contributions to humanity.

Musk and Altman have stated they are partly motivated by concerns about the

states that "it's hard to fathom how much human-level AI could benefit
society," and that it is equally difficult to comprehend "how much it could
damage society if built or used incorrectly".
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI#cite_note-bbc-giants-5> [5] Research
on safety cannot safely be postponed: "because of AI's surprising history,
it's hard to predict when human-level AI might come within reach."

The Wikipedia article on OpenAI is worth the few minutes to read:

When I read Musk’s comments about research in friendly AI increasing the
risk of accidentally creating unfriendly AI, I am reminded of what is now a
plausible (tweetable) notion that the research to evolve a harmless version
of corona virus may be what caused Covid 19.  Until Musk bought Twitter,
that notion was non-tweetable.  It would get one’s Twitter account
suspended.  I had no Twitter account at that time but I didn’t get spanked
when I posted the theory on ExIchat in spring of 2020.
