No, he did not. Take the time to read the article. He said AI could be behind advancements that could kill people, such as synthetic bio weapons. He did not claim skynet is incoming.

That is exactly what he said: "We will be creating a new species..." Maybe you should watch the interview... - https://youtu.be/ADXEKum6iJ8?t=201 https://youtu.be/ADXEKum6iJ8?t=201 The UK government always seems to find these "experts" on call...It's fascinating. Reminds of the famous Tony Blair reports, prepared by the civil service, of weapons of mass destruction (distraction?) ready to be deployed in 45 min... "The 45-minute claim was false - After two years, one war and at least 16,000 deaths, the Government finally admits it" - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/the-45minute-claim-was-false-535224.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/the-45minute-...

  A timestamp would be appreciated, from a quick look at that video he explicitly says we don't know whether AGI is possible; not that we will have agents killing people in 2 years.

    I read the article and watched the interview. If you can't bother to do any of it, I would contest already the validity of your initial analysis.

      I did read the article and you are misrepresenting it. E.g. > Mr Clifford acknowledged that the prediction of computers surpassing human intelligence within two years was at the "bullish end of the spectrum" I watched part of the video, and the interview directly contradicted what you are saying. I'm not going to spend an hour on the whole video to disprove your dishonest take on it. If you have a specific point; post it.

        You said > He did not claim skynet is incoming. Here you acknowledge he did exactly that. Meaning it could be a real possibility, in two years we would lose control to AI and be zapped out of existence. That he considers it "bullish end of the spectrum" does not make it less outrageous and pure ridicule. The most concerning of the interview, was his acknowledgment the government is preparing to force licensing.
