Ex-Google CEO booed at University of Arizona over AI remarks

[Redaktion]

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed during the University of Arizona's commencement ceremony as graduates reacted sharply to his remarks on artificial intelligence and its growing role in work and society, even as his speech acknowledged widespread fears about AI, jobs, climate, and politics, but urged students to help shape the technology rather than see the future as already decided.

Interesting that they boo'ed him considering he is one of the only tech billionares acknowledging that AI is both a blessing and a curse.

Look at the likes of Elon Musk, he does zero philanthropy in comparison to anyone and works people to the bone like they are dog food.

At least Bill Gates and Eric Schmidt actually have good reputations from the people they work with.

I suggest that they booed because we are all sick of hearing about AI. Everyone knows it is the future, apparently. But they never stop telling us.

poetic justice.

Why CEOs of tech companies are giving this speeches? It should be some scientists or astronauts or doctors, not billionaires who has often zero ethical mindset.
