The Promise and Peril of AI: Regulating Chip Access Needed to Prevent Misuse and Runaway AI

Rapidly advancing AI presents great promise but also risks like misuse by bad actors and runaway AI that could threaten humanity.

Misuse by bad actors could sow chaos and disrupt society through disinformation campaigns, cyberattacks, and more.

Runaway AI that trains itself could surpass and harm humans if not properly controlled.

Regulating access to advanced computing chips that power AI training is key to controlling AI proliferation.

The U.S. must lead the creation of an international body, like the IAEA, to regulate chip access and buy time to harness AI safely.
