Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves AI systems as it discusses advanced AI models and their development. The involvement is in the use and development phases, with concerns about potential risks and harms. No actual harm has yet occurred, but the warnings and calls for slowing development indicate a plausible risk of future AI incidents, including existential threats and cybersecurity risks. Therefore, this is best classified as an AI Hazard, as it concerns plausible future harm from AI systems rather than a realized incident or complementary information about responses to past incidents.[AI generated]
