AI researchers fear a major uncontrolled risk

Leading AI researchers in the United States and China are worried about the fast growth of AI. They say that if this technology develops without enough control, it could create a very serious disaster. In their view, the result could include many deaths. Some researchers describe this as an AI “Chernobyl moment,” using the name of a famous disaster to show how serious they think the risk is. Their concern is focused on AI systems that move ahead too quickly and are not kept under control.
