👋 Hey amigonews readers! At the start of the UN General Assembly, over 200 science and tech heavyweights—including 10 Nobel laureates and experts from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Microsoft and OpenAI—sent a clear message: the world needs global AI "red lines" ASAP. 🚨🤖
They argue that some AI uses are simply too risky. Imagine handing over the keys to nuclear arsenals or unleashing lethal autonomous weapons—these are lines we must never cross.
Other red lines on their list:
- Mass surveillance & social scoring systems 👁️🗨️
- AI-driven cyberattacks & impersonation 💻
- Engineering pandemics or large-scale disinformation 🦠
- Manipulating individuals, especially kids 🎮
"AI holds immense potential to advance human well-being, yet its current trajectory presents unprecedented dangers," the letter reads. They urge governments to lock in these bans by the end of next year, before the tech races even further ahead. ⏳
From unemployment surges to human rights concerns, unchecked AI could rewrite our world—so this call for "red lines" is a chance for leaders to step up, set clear rules and keep the future bright. 🌍✨
