The AI doomsday fears have come to markets, and some of the biggest names in investing have been stirred by recent warnings of a robot apocalypse.<\/p>\n
Paul Tudor Jones, the billionaire founder of Tudor Investment Corporation hedge fund, recently sounded the alarm<\/a> on the rise of AI, highlighting major issues he sees developing as the technology develops at an alarming rate, potentially out of human control. <\/p>\n “A solution to the fusion problem to unleash clean cheap energy and save our planet could happen within five years, another major technologist has said,” Jones wrote in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal<\/a>. “But the rest of it feels ominous, like waiting for a Category 6 hurricane.”<\/p>\n His post comes as AI fears have been fanned by recent high-profile warnings. Jacob Coxon, a researcher at Anthropic, resigned this week, posting on X<\/a> that both Anthropic and OpenAI are “gambling with our lives” as they race to develop more powerful AI capabilities. <\/p>\n Jakub Pachocki, chief scientist at OpenAI recently wrote<\/a> on the company’s blog that he feared that no one is prepared<\/a> for what further AI advancements will mean for humanity, adding that he believed intervention is necessary.<\/p>\n Tudor Jones highlighted both statements as part of his own argument, noting that AI is pacing to becoming a geopolitical force and a third superpower on par with the US and China. <\/p>\n “The threat is real and demands coordinated action by the U.S. and China,” he said. “Both countries must commit to a timeline to control the advance and proliferation of AI in a safe, contained and interpretable way.”<\/p>\n The dire warning is a departure from his views on what AI could mean for markets. In May, he predicted<\/a> two years of growth ahead for the AI market, making it clear he sees strong upside for investors.<\/p>\n
