Artificial intelligence researchers have recently been warning about the possible dangers of "superintelligent" computing systems, suggesting that advanced forms of this technology could annihilate humanity. These warnings raise questions about whether governments are acting with the necessary speed to adequately regulate this technology.
Experts in the field of artificial intelligence have described this threat as critical for a long time. The fears center on the destructive potential that highly advanced AI systems could have if they became uncontrollable or were used maliciously.
In 2023, hundreds of artificial intelligence scientists and prominent industry figures signed a statement on the "extinction risk associated with AI". Among the signatories were leaders from major American artificial intelligence laboratories.
The statement called for the matter to be treated with the same seriousness as pandemics, highlighting the urgency that experts attribute to the need for regulation and supervision of developments in this area.
