Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt says AI will 'shape' identity and that 'normal people' are not ready for it
Briefly

Eric Schmidt expressed concerns about the readiness of society for AI advancements, stating, "The normal people are not ready... Their governments are not ready. The government processes are not ready." He emphasizes a gap between technological progress and current readiness.
During a talk at Princeton, Schmidt raised issues of identity shaped by AI, suggesting, "A child's best friend could be 'not human' in the future, which could present problems," stressing the need for established guidelines.
Schmidt highlighted potential challenges of AI in children's development, questioning, "Is it OK that... it's the equivalent of Mark Zuckerberg as just the surrogate parent who gets to decide what your kid learns and doesn't learn?" This raises critical ethical concerns.
While promoting his book, Schmidt noted a fundamental shift in learning dynamics: "AI will change how children learn and could shape their culture and worldview," indicating profound implications for future generations.
