Addressing a crowd of students last Friday, the Russian president (known for his shaky record on human rights and a penchant for shirtless pics) spoke about AI and how he reckons it will shape and dominate global politics.

“Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind,” said Putin, according to RT. “It comes with colossal opportunities, but also threats that are difficult to predict. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.”

Putin promised that Russia will share its intel on AI with other nations, fearing the consequences if any one power ever monopolized the industry.

Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk are two prominent figures who have expressed concern about the threat of AI. Speaking to the US National Governors Association this summer, Musk warned: “AI is the rare case where I think we need to be proactive in regulation instead of reactive. Because I think by the time we are reactive in AI regulation, it’ll be too late. AI is a fundamental risk to the existence of human civilization,” he added.

He tweeted about Putin's speech with a scary prediction.

Why is it always referred to as WWIII why not at least a cooler name like war of the super powers or war of the global resources distributors or war of powerful men with small endowment. As a young female I feel the nuclear arms race, the cold war, and now AI race is really just a pissing contest between men with big egos who want to show off. It's almost disgusting in a way when you are truly a person who wants everyine to finish the race rather than the strongest taking out a competitor who would be a better partner than enemy if these high powered individuals could put their dicks away and use their heart and brain in place. But you know the saying goes open your heart to a man and he will try to put his dick in there too! Not hating on all men just the Territorial, narcissistic ones who have access to vaste and endless resources. That is the downfall of democracy. You can't give the keys to freedom to the god damn jailer and except him to set you free. Lol
