And when something can do all kinds of things, I get a little bit worried." "We did invent for very, very good reason, the atom bomb. And, World War Two, it was enormously important that we did so. But is it good for the next 200 years of the world that the ability to do so has been unleashed?"which led to the creation of the atomic bomb"With AI, it can change everything in the world, except how men think and behave, and that's a big step to take," Buffett concluded.
