- Berkshire Hathaway's vice chairman Charlie Munger is skeptical of the sudden hype around AI.
- He said the hype is largely undeserved because AI has already been around for a very long time.
- "Artificial intelligence is not going to cure cancer," he previously said on the topic.
Warren Buffett's right-hand man Charlie Munger is an AI skeptic and is not sold on the hype surrounding it, Fortune reported Friday.
99-year-old Munger, vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway since 1978, spoke at Zoom's Zoomtopia conference on Thursday and said that AI is essentially overhyped.
