Palo Alto CEO says slowing down AI is ‘unrealistic’, extinction threat ‘extremely small’

Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora argues that slowing down AI development is unrealistic because different companies will pursue their own strategies, and he dismisses the risk of AI causing human extinction as extremely small. Instead of industry-wide pacing agreements, Arora suggests companies should simply avoid releasing products they don't believe are safe, while building in proper guardrails (safety measures built into a system to prevent misuse) and security.
