Are AI fears the next Y2K HOAX or humanity's greatest threat? With 109.1 BILLION in US AI investment this year and experts like Geoffrey Hinton warning of 10-20% extinction risks, we're seeing unprecedented preparation for potential catastrophe. But 25 years ago, the world spent over 300 billion preparing for Y2K computer failures that would "crash civilization.” Instead, we got minor glitches and embarrassed experts. The key difference: Y2K had known solutions and a fixed deadline, while AI presents evolving risks with NO guaranteed fixes. Unlike Y2K's technical problems, AI fears involve creating systems potentially more intelligent than their creators. Are we repeating history's greatest tech panic or facing an existential challenge that could end human civilization?
But get the truth, right here, right now with KHTY TV and News!
