US Congressman Ro Khanna has called for an enforceable US-China treaty to ban artificial intelligence systems capable of recursive self-improvement, citing risks of losing human control. He also supports legislation to pause advanced AI development until safeguards are established. No actual AI harm has occurred; the concern is about future risks.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article does not report any realized harm caused by AI systems but discusses the plausible future risk of advanced self-improving AI systems escaping human control. The proposal for a treaty and safeguards is a governance response to a potential AI hazard. Since the technology is not yet available and no harm has occurred, this event fits the definition of an AI Hazard, as it concerns plausible future harm from AI development and use.[AI generated]
