"To be honest, what concerns me more is the lack of control from humans, who are still making wars after 2,000 years" – Leonardo CEO Roberto Cingolani

Introduction

Copilot's Summary

The CEO of Italian defense group Leonardo, Roberto Cingolani, expressed his views on artificial intelligence (AI) in an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe". He stated that he is more concerned about the "stupidity" of users of AI rather than the threats posed by the technology itself¹. 

Cingolani emphasized that AI is a tool created and controlled by humans, and the real concern lies in the lack of control from humans, who are still making wars after 2,000 years¹. He added that he is more worried about national stupidity than artificial intelligence¹.

He also highlighted the potential benefits of AI, such as fast-tracking patient diagnoses, modeling climate change, and fighting cyberattacks¹. However, he acknowledged the International Monetary Fund's report that nearly 40% of jobs worldwide could be affected by the rise of AI¹.

Cingolani further discussed the need for defense companies like Leonardo to introduce a "massive digitalization" of their platforms, including providing autonomous systems and services that are AI-powered¹. He described this as a complete change of paradigm and a different technological approach to defense and security¹.
