Whoopi Goldberg fears for humanity’s future under AI: ‘It’s not good’

Whoopi Goldberg refuses to be outsmarted by artificial intelligence.

During Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” the crew of co-hosts discussed recent stories about AI being used across professional as well as personal sectors, to muse wedding vows, amp-up job résumés and even rattle off legalese for an official court filing.

“I’ve been warning people about AI for at least 10 years, I think, but AI is now being used in court cases, which you know, doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, and it’s being used to create wedding vows,” Goldberg began at the top of the segment.

The 67-year-old then gave her opinion on the story, as did the other ladies, and explained that ultimately the AI got the case law wrong.

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin then chimed in to share why she thinks AI is dangerous – which inspired Goldberg to rant further about Amazon’s “personal assistant” computer technology, Alexa.

“You know she is listening, I don’t want her in the house,” Goldberg claimed as Griffin showed agreement. “I don’t want anything that is smart enough to lock me out of my house. I don’t want anything that won’t let me drive my car. When you watch science fiction, it’s right there. They tell you.”

Goldberg continued, “This is the future. Let me tell you why it’s not good, she doesn’t know that if there’s a fire in the house, that she shouldn’t put the blinds down. She doesn’t know not to open the window … And don’t try to call me, Alexa, ’cause I won’t pick up the phone.”

The Post reached out to reps for Goldberg and Amazon for further comment.

The comments on “The View” come just one week after Twitter scion Elon Musk warned that there is a “non-zero chance” that “rogue” AI systems could one day wipe out humanity.

“There’s a non-zero chance of it going Terminator. It’s not zero percent,” Musk said during the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit last Wednesday, The Post reported.

“It’s a small likelihood of annihilating humanity, but it’s not zero. We want that probability to be as close to zero as possible.”

During the same conference, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt also had a stark warning about the technology.

He claimed that AI is a big risk to humanity, and could result in “many, many, many, many people harmed or killed” if it becomes more advanced throughout the next few years.
