The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
Several experts, including Yuval Harari and Eliezer Yudkowsky, warn that unchecked development of advanced AI could pose existential threats to humanity, such as loss of control over critical infrastructure and widespread misinformation. They call for strict global regulations or even a moratorium to prevent potential catastrophic harm.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article does not describe any realized harm or incident caused by AI systems but focuses on the potential catastrophic risks that advanced AI could pose if development continues unchecked. The expert's call for a global moratorium is a preventive measure against plausible future harms, including loss of control over critical infrastructure (nuclear forces) and existential threats to humanity. Therefore, this event fits the definition of an AI Hazard, as it highlights credible risks that could plausibly lead to an AI Incident but have not yet materialized.[AI generated]
