Scarier Than in the Movies: AI Creates a Real Threat to Humanity

The article discusses the potential threats associated with the development of artificial intelligence and argues that existing control measures may be insufficient. The author references science fiction scenarios and calls for the development of stricter rules, including hardware restrictions and international agreements on autonomous weapons.

The article examines growing concerns about the development of artificial intelligence and its potential threat to humanity. The author notes that AI is developing faster than expected and that existing software restrictions may be insufficient, as code can be hacked or bypassed. As a solution, it is proposed to move some protective mechanisms to the hardware level, for example, embedding restrictions into chip architecture. Particular attention is paid to the use of AI in military technologies, especially in drones during the war in Ukraine, and the need for international restrictions on autonomous weapons is discussed. The article also references science fiction scenarios such as 'Terminator' and 'Star Trek', and Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, emphasizing that even they do not solve all problems. Overall, the author calls for the development of clear rules for AI control to prevent possible risks.
