Title: Elon Musk, Putin, Mark Z are these guys just overblowing AI? Current developments in AI are no where close to cause WW-III. 
Why are these leaders frightening people with claims that AI can cause WW-III or ruin the world?
On top of that media is going frenzy over any single statements or tweets by these leaders.<p>I have never seen Andrew Ng or Andrej Karpathy making such claims.<p>State of the art AI can only do very specialized things in limited scope e.g ASR, NLP,Image recognition, game play etc.<p>What am I missing?<p>Sources :
