Binance CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao said artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that may take over our world and make us irrelevant, but no one is worried about it.

According to CZ, no one is worried about AI. Instead, people are regulating a neutral technology — blockchain/crypto — that improves efficiency and reduces transaction costs.

CZ was responding to a tweet from Javi Lopez, who predicted that an “intelligent virus” that would be impossible to eliminate would leak in the next five years. According to Lopez, the virus would use any loophole to replicate and perpetuate itself.

AI has recently become increasingly popular with OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT. The technology has witnessed rapid adoption and growth, with several firms competing to produce more advanced AI products.

CZ added that he is pro-AI and pro-innovation, but there is a need for “balance everywhere.”
