Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff highlighted the urgent need for safety protocols and trust principles in AI development at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday.
"This is a huge moment for AI," Benioff stated while speaking with CNBC's Sara Eisen. He acknowledged the significant leaps AI has made in the last two years. However, he expressed concern about the direction of AI development, emphasizing the need to prevent any catastrophic misuse or unintended consequences, which he metaphorically referred to as an "AI Hiroshima."
"We don't want something to go really wrong. That's why we're going to, like, that safety summit. That's why we're talking about trust," he added.
