In a statement released on September 16, a group of influential AI scientists urged countries to establish a global regulatory system to prevent humans from losing control of artificial intelligence. If this happens, the technology that humans helped develop could cause serious harm.
The statement stated: "The loss of human control or malicious use of these AI systems could have catastrophic consequences for all of humanity, yet we have not yet developed the necessary science to control and protect the use of this advanced intelligence."
The scientists agreed that countries need to establish authoritative bodies to detect and respond to AI incidents and catastrophic risks within their jurisdictions, and need to develop a "global contingency plan." (Cointelegraph)
