Mr Wozniak says he fears the technology will be harnessed by “bad actors”.
Speaking to Zoe Kleinman, the BBC’s Technology Editor, he talked about both the benefits of AI, and his concerns. He said: “AI is so intelligent it’s open to the bad players, the ones that want to trick you about who they are.”
Mr Wozniak doesn’t believe AI will replace people because it lacks emotion, but he did warn that, in his view, it will make bad actors even more convincing, because programmes like ChatGPT can create text which “sounds so intelligent”.
He thinks responsibility for anything generated by Artificial Intelligence and then posted to the public, should rest with those who publish it: “A human really has to take the responsibility for what is generated by AI.”
