"Catastrophic risk". Politicians and researchers concerned about AI warnings

RTP Notícias10 September 2026 at 13:10

After Jacob Coxon warned about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence for Humanity, concerns among politicians and specialists have increased significantly. The theme of "catastrophic risk" associated with AI has been generating an increasingly intense debate.

Jacob Coxon emerges as one of the voices that raised alerts about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence, contributing to intensifying the public debate about the risks of this technology. His statements joined a growing set of warnings from researchers and experts in the field.

Politicians from various countries expressed growing concern about the situation, demonstrating that the issue is no longer just technical but now has implications at the level of political and legislative decisions. This political attention reflects the gravity attributed to the warnings that have been issued.

The specialists do not hide their apprehensions, admitting that there are reasons for society to be "scared" about the future of Artificial Intelligence. This strong language from researchers contrasts with the more cautious tone that predominated in the technology sector just a few years ago.
