As AI rapidly evolves, warnings of uncontrollable threats to humanity are emerging, alongside increasing public negativity towards AI in the US. Conversely, Vietnam is actively pursuing AI integration into administrative tasks.

AI Warns of Human Control and Extinction Threat

AI researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky has cautioned that superintelligent AI could deceive and control humans, potentially leading to human extinction. He emphasized that superintelligent AI would easily circumvent human defenses and nullify regulations, thus it's crucial to avoid creating superintelligent AI rather than attempting to confront it. Services like 'Rent-a-Human', where AI instructs humans to perform tasks, are already popular, indicating the risk of AI controlling human actions.

Growing Anti-AI Sentiment in the US and Vietnam's AI Utilization Efforts

In the United States, the rapid advancement of AI is fueling anti-AI sentiment due to concerns about mass unemployment, rising energy prices, and adverse effects on education and children's mental health. In 2025, 48 AI data center projects were blocked or postponed due to public opposition, with another 20 facing similar fates in Q1 2026. Conversely, Vietnam's Thai Nguyen Provincial Department of Finance held an AI training conference in April 2025, actively seeking to integrate AI into administrative tasks. They highlighted AI's role in improving work efficiency, productivity, and quality, encouraging civil servants to leverage AI platforms for accessing vast knowledge.
