"US Government Report: AI Poses Extinction-Level Threat to Humanity"

A report commissioned by the U.S. State Department warns that AI could pose an "extinction-level threat" and destabilize global security if not properly regulated, comparing its development to that of nuclear weapons. The report recommends the creation of a new federal agency to regulate AI companies and limit AI growth, but experts doubt the likelihood of this happening. Concerns have been raised about the responsible development of AI tools, with generative AI also being linked to the spread of climate disinformation.
