Bridgewater Associates co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen warns that advanced artificial intelligence could kill people before it is sufficiently curbed. He makes the comments during an interview tied to Bloomberg’s Odd Lots podcast.
Jensen frames his warning around the scale and speed of the AI boom, suggesting risks could escalate faster than governance measures. MarketWatch reports that he agrees AI could wipe out humanity, reflecting the same broad concern. While both outlets focus on the stark nature of his prediction, they do not provide specific evidence, timelines, or technical scenarios in the cited material.
The two reports largely align in attributing the remarks to Jensen and in describing the core message: that AI poses existential and immediate physical risks if deployment outpaces oversight. The coverage emphasizes his view, without detailing Bridgewater’s broader investment stance or any concrete regulatory proposal associated with his comments.
