The US government must move “quickly and decisively” to save us from exctinction.
A report commissioned by the US State Department is warning that rapidly evolving AI could pose a “catastrophic” risk to national security and even all of humanity.
The document titled “An Action Plan to Increase the Safety and Security of Advanced AI,” first reported on by TIME, advised that the US government must move “quickly and decisively” — with measures including potentially limiting the compute power allocated to training these AIs — or else risk an “extinction-level threat to the human species.”
“The rise of advanced AI and AGI [artificial general intelligence] has the potential to destabilize global security in ways reminiscent of the introduction of nuclear weapons,” the report reads.
