The atomic AI bombNo AI expertise, but undeniable importance

The Oracle of Omaha is ringing alarm bells over AI’s dark potential to revolutionize scamming. As Warren Buffett warned, “If I was interested in scamming, it’s going to be the growth industry of all time.”

With deepfakes becoming virtually indistinguishable from reality, Buffett recalled nearly falling for a fake video of himself soliciting cash. “I practically would have sent money to myself over in some crazy country,” he quipped.

The atomic AI bomb

Buffett drew a chilling parallel between AI and nuclear weapons, echoing last year’s comparison: “We let the genie out of the bottle when we developed nuclear weapons… That genie’s been doing some terrible things lately. The power of the genie scares the hell out of me.”

“AI is somewhat similar,” Buffett added gravely. “We may wish we’d never seen that genie.” The investing legend underscored AI’s double-edged nature as both enormously promising yet frighteningly risky.

No AI expertise, but undeniable importance

Despite professing ignorance of AI’s technicalities, Buffett acknowledged, “I don’t know anything about AI, but that doesn’t mean I deny its existence or importance.”

After all, the Berkshire CEO recognized ChatGPT’s game-changing potential years before its advent.
