Putin on AI threats: I have never been afraid of anything

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he has never been afraid of anything while responding to a question about the potential threats posed by artificial intelligence.

The exchange took place during a meeting with students, postgraduate students and young scientists from Russia’s Novosibirsk Region.

“What threats does artificial intelligence pose to us?” Putin asked during the discussion.

“Vladimir Vladimirovich, I’ll tell you honestly, you have nothing to fear,” a student replied.

“I have never been afraid of anything,” Putin said with a smile.
