One of the inventors of Siri, the original AI agent, wants you to “handle with care” when it comes to artificial intelligence. But are we becoming too cautious around AI in Europe and risking our future?

This is just a poor analogy.
A door lock can’t buy up Amazon’s entire stock of tide pods on my credit card.
A door lock can’t turn on someone’s iot oven while they’re out of town.
A door lock can’t publish every email some journalist has ever received to xitter.
A mechanical door lock doesn’t hallucinate extra fingers, and draw them into all the family photos saved on a person’s hard drive.
But it can let in a burglar who can find your credit card inside and do the same. And why are you giving AI access to your CC#? You’d better post it here in a reply so I can keep it safe for you.
But it can let in neighborhood children who will turn on your gas stove without lighting it while you’re out of town.
True, the journalist, or his soon-to-be-ex-spouse, can “accidentally” do that themselves - and I suppose the ex-spouse who still has a copy of the key can “fool” the lock with that undisclosed copy of the key while the journalist is out having sushi with his mistress.
I’ve worked with AI for a while now, it’s not going to up and hallucinate to do that - unless you ask it to do something related.
