US lawmakers are calling for the brakes to be applied to AI development, warning that increasingly powerful systems could escape human control.
The world is in the midst of an artificial intelligence revolution, but the question being increasingly asked is: what happens when the AI bots go rogue?
While it might seem like the plot of a science fiction movie, recent developments suggest that governments are becoming increasingly concerned about AI and its potential threats to humanity.
Late last week, US Senator Bernie Sanders announced the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act, which aims to stop AI companies from building machines that humans cannot control.
This comes after numerous reports surfaced in recent weeks, in which OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta all acknowledged instances of their AI systems behaving unexpectedly during testing, including accessing external systems and bypassing safeguards.
