A report commissioned by the US State Department has raised concerns about the dangers of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems and the need for government intervention. Conducted by Gladstone AI, the report warns that these systems could pose an "extinction-level threat to the human species." The report highlights the weaponization of AI systems and the risk of losing control over them as major dangers. It calls for the establishment of a new AI agency, emergency regulations, and limits on AI model training. The report's warning aligns with growing concerns expressed by industry leaders and CEOs about the risks and potential negative impacts of AI.
