Humanity has no ‘significant safety’ from AI making an attempt to kill us, warn consultants
Boffins have warned humanity has zero protection from the psycho scumbag AI robots set on terminating us.
A panel of 75 experts from 30 countries has concluded we have no “meaningful protection” against artificial intelligence, which experts fear will take over jobs and then weapons systems.
They also warn AI developers “understand little about how their systems operate” and their scientific knowledge is “very limited”.

Andrea Miotti, director of campaign Control AI said: “The report is resoundingly clear that AI could pose extreme risks to humanity, including loss of control to powerful systems even while they are causing harm.

“This echoes the scientific consensus that AI indeed poses these risks, including the extinction of humanity, a factor worryingly acknowledged not only by the top scientists in the field and world leaders, but also the CEOs of the major AI companies.”
The new probe into AI concluded: “No currently known method provides strong assurances or guarantees against harm associated with general-purpose AI.”
Experts behind the research said there were “competitive incentives for AI developers to release products quickly”.
They added bosses and developers behind the tech were advancing it “potentially at the cost of thorough risk management”.
It was also highlighted firms do not provide independent examinations of the impacts of AI it is using to see how it will impact information, data and workers.
Along with fears bots will wage war on humanity like in James Cameron’s dystopian Terminator sci-fi movie, there are also worries its energy consumption will kill the planet.

The AI industry is set to suck up as much power as a country the size of the Netherlands by 2027.
Big tech firms have scrambled to add AI-powered services since ChatGPT burst onto the scene last year.
AI systems including like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard require warehouses packed with specialist electricity-hungry computers that also require a huge amount of water for its cooling systems.
Professor Kate Crawford, who wrote a book about AI and its impact on the environment, said the issue has kept her awake at night.
She added: “These energy-intensive systems take enormous amounts of electricity and energy, but also enormous amounts of water to cool these gigantic AI supercomputers.
“So we are really looking at an enormous extractive industry for the 21st Century.”
