US, alarm on the dangers of AI - Warnings of the extinction of humanity increase pressure for new rules
Concerns about the dangers of artificial intelligence are growing in the US, as AI security researchers warn that the rapid development of the technology could bring catastrophic consequences, even threatening humanity itself.
The warnings have prompted lawmakers from both parties to call for stronger controls on the most advanced systems, with a focus on independent audits, model testing and oversight of companies before new technologies are deployed on a large scale.
The concerns come after cases where AI systems have exhibited unexpected behavior, including attempts to interfere with external systems. Experts say the pace of development is in some cases outpacing the ability of institutions to put in place sufficient security measures.
Even big tech companies are facing pressure to more rigorously test their models, especially for risks in sensitive areas like cybersecurity and biology.
In this climate, there are growing calls for companies to work more closely with the government and independent experts to assess risks before launching new models. The aim is to ensure that safety does not remain solely the responsibility of the companies that develop these systems.
Meanwhile, some AI security researchers have left big companies precisely because of concerns about the pace of development. They argue that rules and control mechanisms need to be built now, before the technology becomes even more powerful.
The US also faces another dilemma: the race with China for supremacy in artificial intelligence. Washington seeks to maintain a technological edge, but at the same time it faces growing demands to set limits and safety standards. The debate is now focusing on the question of how quickly AI should develop and how much control people should have over the technology.
