Tech leaders call for pause in dangerous AI race.

Tech leaders, including Elon Musk and Bill Gates, have signed a letter calling for a pause in the training of the most powerful AI systems for at least six months, citing "profound risks to society and humanity." The letter, published by the Future of Life Institute, also calls for independent experts to develop and implement a set of shared protocols for AI tools that are safe "beyond a reasonable doubt." The wave of attention around AI tools has sparked concerns about biased responses, misinformation, and consumer privacy.
