By
Séamus Bellamy
Summary
The article discusses Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's comments to the Wall Street Journal, where he argues that excessive doom-and-gloom rhetoric about AI's dangers is making it harder to win public acceptance. The piece contrasts this with the real harms AI is already causing — job elimination, environmental damage, and safety risks — and notes that the same tech leaders who once hyped AI's benefits are now being too honest about its dangers, according to Nadella.
