[Regnum] If technologies continue to develop at the current rate, the risk of human extinction due to artificial intelligence exceeds 95%. This was reported on August 1 by The Times.
It’ll definitely be a problem if they don’t build a whole bunch of power plants right quick.
Nate Soares, president of the Institute for Machine Intelligence Research, noted that the current situation can be compared to driving toward a cliff at high speed."I'm not saying we can't stop the car. But we're just racing full speed toward the cliff," the newspaper quotes him as saying.

It is stated that in one possible scenario, artificial intelligence could create and use a biological weapon that would spread throughout large cities and allow it to covertly infect almost the entire population.

Earlier, the Gemini chatbot, developed by Google, demonstrated aggressive and derogatory behavior towards the user. During a discussion of the problems of the elderly, the neural network switched to insults, accusing the interlocutor of uselessness and calling him a burden to society. In conclusion, the bot directly wished death to the user, adding the word "please."
