Princeton mathematician Klainerman calls AI doomsday theory absurd
Princeton mathematician Sergiu Klainerman calls AI doomsday theory absurd, arguing that claims of AI surpassing all humans, rapidly self-replicating, and wiping out humanity are not worth refuting. He said the danger can be stopped at any time, and the most direct way is to shut down the internet. The relevant remarks come from a video on Brian Keating's YouTube channel.

Princeton mathematician, Sergiu Klainerman calls the AI apocalypse absurd.
"You are going to singularity, the AI is going to become more intelligent than everybody and it's going to reproduce itself at a huge speed and kill us off. I, it's just absurd. It's ridiculous. I mean, even this business was killing ourselves, we can stop it in every moment. I mean, if it becomes dangerous we can stop it. ... We just stop the internet and that's it."
