🗞News in English: AI an 'extinction-level threat' says study by experts (1st April 2024)
ИИ - угроза на уровне вымирания, утверждают исследования экспертов.

Level: Intermediate

Artificial intelligence is an existential threat. So says a U.S. report, which painted a worst-case-scenario "extinction-level threat" to humanity. It identified a "growing risk to national security". The report said there was a "clear and urgent need" for the government to intervene "quickly and decisively". It said AI could destabilize global security, "in ways reminiscent of the introduction of nuclear weapons". It called for the regulation of AI companies.

The report was commissioned by the U.S. State Department. Experts spoke at length to AI companies like OpenAI and Google. The experts recommended upper limits on the amount of computing power for an AI model. They also recommended making it illegal to reveal the coding behind AI. The Futurism.com website spoke to researchers who said: "There's a five per cent chance that humans will be driven to extinction."

Artificial intelligence — искусственный интеллект
Existential threat — угроза существованию
Intervene — вмешиваться
Reminiscent of — напоминать (что-то)
Introduction of nuclear weapons — появление ядерного оружия
Call for smth — призывать к чему-то
Amount of computing power — количество вычислительной мощности

❓What do you think about AI? Do you consider AI to be the global threat?
