A group of influential AI scientists issued a statement on September 16th urging nations to establish a global regulatory framework to prevent humanity from losing control of artificial intelligence. If this were to happen, the technology humans helped develop could pose significant harm. The statement said: "The potential for misuse or loss of human control over these powerful AI systems could pose catastrophic risks to humanity, yet we lack the necessary science to control and safeguard their use." The scientists agree that nations need to establish authoritative bodies within their jurisdictions to discover and address AI incidents and catastrophic risks, and a "global emergency plan" needs to be established.
