Gary Marcus says the collapse of a major AI company could trigger a wider financial crisis, and argues that personal AI agents should be recalled. Those are the cognitive scientist’s warnings, not established forecasts.
Why it mattersIn an interview with the Economic Times, Marcus also speculated that Microsoft could acquire OpenAI for $200 billion, far below the $1 trillion valuation he says the company may seek in an IPO. The comments add a pointed, sceptical view to the debate over AI investment and autonomous agents.
Discuss: Should personal AI agents be paused until their risks are clearer, or is a recall an overreaction?
