Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves AI as a potential source of catastrophic harm in the future, specifically the malicious use of AI that could threaten human survival. However, no actual harm or incident has occurred yet; the article is about a risk assessment and warnings about plausible future threats. Therefore, it fits the definition of an AI Hazard, as it describes circumstances where AI's development or use could plausibly lead to an AI Incident in the future.[AI generated]
