The PM said the new technology will bring new dangers and new fears. One in five Britons believe AI will likely lead to extinction of the human raceRishi Sunak today warned that terrorists and criminals could use artificial intelligence technology to build weapons of mass destruction and carry out child abuse - but urged the public not to lose sleep over it.
It came after a government paper published last night reveals how advances in AI will make it cheaper and easier for hackers, scammers and terrorists to attack innocent victims – all within the next 18 months. The Government will host an AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park next week, bringing together world leaders, tech firms and civil society to discuss the emerging technology.
Rishi Sunak told an audience in central London: 'We're bringing together the world's leading representatives, from civil society to the companies pioneering AI and the countries most advanced in using it. The terrifying predictions come ahead of the world's first AI Safety Summit, held in the UK next week, and as a poll found one in five Britons believe AI will likely lead to the extinction of the human race.
'There is debate about whether these risks will manifest at all and indeed over what timeframe, and you can see that debate in the community of AI experts and researchers. 'It is not going to stop - AI doesn't respect borders, so what the right approach is for us is to be ahead of it in developing the expertise and capabilities to understand the risk and then mitigate against them.'
