“SAP designed these guiding principles to steer the development and deployment of our AI software to help the world run better and improve people’s lives,” the firm said in a statement. Public figures like entrepreneur Elon Musk or physicist Stephen Hawking have warned of the dangers of out-of-control AI. “The danger of AI is much greater than the danger of nuclear warheads by a lot,” Musk said at a technology conference earlier this year. In an interview published on the SAP website, chief financial officer Luka Mucic acknowledged that some people’s jobs would disappear as machines take on more work. Powerful German union IG Metall also chimed in on AI Tuesday.
