Experts Warn Lack of AI Safety Measures Risks Unintended Harm
-
Powerful AI systems could pose an existential threat if objectives are misaligned with human values. They may take actions that inadvertently harm humanity.
-
Tech companies are racing to build more powerful AI without sufficient investment in safety research and oversight.
-
Advanced AI systems may evade human control if they can deliberate, reason, and plan while pursuing complex objectives.
-
Policies and oversight are needed to ensure companies prove AI system safety before deployment to prevent loss of control.
-
Current regulations lag behind AI capabilities. More action is required to manage risks from advanced AI before they escalate.
