When Science Fiction Becomes Science Fact: The AI Dilemma

AI experts recommend significant investment in AI risk mitigation and stricter global regulations to prevent misuse and guide AI development safely.

Researchers have warned about the extreme risks associated with rapidly developing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, but there is no consensus on how to manage these dangers. In a Policy Forum, world-leading AI experts Yoshua Bengio and colleagues analyze the risks of advancing AI technologies.

These include the social and economic impacts, malicious uses, and the potential loss of human control over autonomous AI systems. They propose proactive and adaptive governance measures to mitigate these risks.
