Both expressed their concerns that this technology poses an existential risk to humanity, potentially resulting in deadly consequences in the near future.

Schmidt emphasized that AI could lead to many people being injured or killed, which many experts have begun to point out.
Musk, in turn, compared the possible risks with the apocalyptic scenario portrayed in the science fiction film "The Terminator", released in 1984.
These caveats underscore the importance of approaching the advancement of artificial intelligence with caution and seeking solutions that ensure its safe and ethical use.
Musk and Schmidt, prominent technology leaders, are among those who have expressed concerns and urged caution in the development of artificial intelligence.
Although they approached the problem in different ways, they both share the view that safety and security measures are needed.
In March, Elon Musk joined more than 1,000 experts in advocating for a six-month pause in the development of advanced artificial intelligence products.
This proposal aimed to provide the necessary time for the implementation of adequate security measures, in order to mitigate the possible risks associated with the advancement of this field.
Although he has gone against the unbridled advance of artificial intelligence, Musk does not believe it has the potential to destroy humanity.
Musk denies that AI could endanger humanity
Significant emphasis was placed by Schmidt on the possibility that artificial intelligence could result in physical harm and loss of human life. In turn, Musk made an analogy to the potential risks with the apocalyptic situation portrayed in the 1984 film “The Terminator”.
During the same conference, Musk revealed that there is no chance of intelligences ending humanity. He emphasized that while this is a low probability, it cannot be ruled out completely.
Musk highlighted the importance of minimizing this probability to ensure the safety and preservation of humanity.
Musk also mentioned the hypothesis of a highly advanced artificial intelligence system taking the decision to impose strict control over the humanity, such as the mastery of computers and weapons, but which does not work as a “terminator of the future”, referring to the apocalyptic movie.
