Cohere co-founder and CEO Aidan Gomez said on Bloomberg TV that the existential risk debate "veers too far into science fiction," arguing that Terminator-like AI takeover scenarios should not be part of the public conversation. The remarks continue his long-standing skepticism of AI doom narratives, in contrast with calls from some frontier labs and researchers to slow down frontier AI development over loss-of-control concerns.
