Warren Buffett has expressed his concerns about artificial intelligence and has even compared the rise of the technology to the creation of the atom bomb.
Buffett and his partner, Charlie Munger, discussed their outlooks and concerns on tech and AI during a wide-ranging discussion at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska on Saturday
Their comments come after more than 1,600 researchers and tech experts, including Elon Musk signed an open letter in March calling for a six-month pause on AI development claiming it poses “profound risks to society and humanity.”

Geoffrey Hinton, widely known as the “Godfather of Artificial Intelligence” announced his resignation from Google last week saying that he now regretted his work.
NYPost reports: Buffett, who said he got a lesson on ChatGPT from his buddy Bill Gates, one of the founders of Microsoft, voiced his fears over the rapidly evolving programs.
Although Buffett said he was impressed by AI’s vast capabilities, including checking all legal opinions “since the beginning of time,” he said he is a bit apprehensive about the technology.
“When something can do all kinds of things, I get a little bit worried,” the 92-year-old investor said. “Because I know we won’t be able to un-invent it and, you know, we did invent, for very, very good reason, the atom bomb in World War II.”
“It was enormously important that we did so,” Buffett continued, Fox Business reported. “But is it good for the next 200 years of the world that the ability to do so has been unleashed?”
Buffett said he believes AI will change “everything in the world, except how men think and behave.”
“And that’s a big step to take,” he said.
Munger, the 99-year-old vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, also expressed some reluctance about AI.
“I am personally skeptical of some of the hype that is going into artificial intelligence,” Munger said. “I think old-fashioned intelligence works pretty well.”

It’s too late now the Internet the tangled Web theyve woven as they’ve practiced to deceive has already trapped everyone in a net from which they re too compliant to even try to escape. And only a major movement by a huge portion of global population will undo that. And that won’t happen. So it’s all over. Grumble and moan but it’s too late to turn back now.
Man did not refrain from building more dangerous swords during the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, nor did he stop building war machines with enormous destructive powers with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, and even less so in the atomic age … why would he do so now with artificial intelligence? – has man’s nature changed?.
As we advance in this new field, the powers that be will secretly, behind the backs of the public at large, increase their capacity to employ this new technology in warfare, in the name of “national security”, while deceiving us by convincing us of the supposed benefits … in reality pyrrhic when compared to the grim probability of self-destruction.
As long as the values of the secular, materialistic culture continue to compete against religion, the spiritual, the nature of the worldly, ambitious, cruel and perverse man will remain as it is now without radical changes in his inner being, and with more power of annihilation in his hands every day he will end up destroying civilization.
So the problem is not nuclear energy or artificial intelligence but the denial, the continuous refusal of man to surrender to God.
Perhaps so warren. I don’t doubt your wisdom here. Problem is, unlike the atom bomb, the good guys don’t own it.

Daniel 11:31 — “Forces from him will arise, desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice. And they will set up the Abomination of Desolation.”
The Greek god Zeus was the equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter. Zeus was the god of the original “Abomination of Desolation” set up in 168 B.C. by Antiochus IV “Epiphanes,” the Syrian Seleucid ruler who tried to destroy Israel:
1st Maccabees 1:54 (KJV) — “Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and fifth year, they set up the Abomination of Desolation upon the altar, and builded idol altars throughout the cities of Juda on every side…”
2nd Maccabees 6:2 (KJV) — “And to pollute also the temple in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter [Zeus] Olympius; and that in Garizim, of Jupiter [Zeus] the Defender of Strangers, as they did desire that dwelt in the place.”
A similar event was during the reign of the Roman emperor Caligula (A.D. 37-41). He tried to have an enormous statue of himself in the guise of the god Jupiter installed in the Temple at Jerusalem for worship, but he was assassinated before it could be accomplished.
These events were “types,” or “foreshadowings,” of the future Abomination of Desolation that will be set up by the Antichrist. Matthew 24:15 — “Therefore when you see the Abomination of Desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)…” This may be some form of AI.
Revelation 13:14-15: “And he (the False Prophet) deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the Beast (the Antichrist), telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the Beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the Beast to be killed.”
Read the Bible by beginning with the Gospel, According to John. The verbatim quote of Jesus in John 6:47 is “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on Me hath everlasting life.” In the Bible, to believe in means to rely on. And from the context of John 6:47 I paraphrase the meaning of the promise of Jesus: “Very truly! I say to you, the person who relies on Me alone, putting himself or herself into My hands (apart from also relying on his or her good deeds), HAS (right now) nonforfeitable, EVER-lasting, unending life.” Once you have begun to follow Jesus by relying on Him alone for His free gift of everlasting life which cannot be lost, THEN do good deeds of obedience to the teachings of Lord Jesus, but only out of gratitude, to glorify Him.
