Bridgewater Co-CIO Greg Jensen Puts 30-60% Odds on Fatal or Financial AI Disaster Within Two Years

Greg Jensen, co-chief investment officer of Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, said on Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast that he sees 30 to 60 percent odds of a fatal or financially catastrophic AI failure within two years. Jensen argued that, based on historical precedent, governments are unlikely to move meaningfully against AI's risks until the technology has already caused serious harm.
