AP — Heads of major AI firms warn UN Security Council that without intervention, ‘AI could be a risk to humanity as a whole’. In other words: The thing we are making gobs of money from could kill us all. Just sayin.

“Energy guzzling artificial intelligence is driving up planet-heating pollution from coal, oil and gas, while ratcheting up energy costs for households and businesses."

Please, stop us. If you don't force us to do the right thing, we'll just go ahead and destroy humanity. I need you to tell me to stop, or I'll just keep doing it. I know how dangerous it is, but I won't stop unless restrained. 0.o apnews.com/article/ai-a...

Tech leaders “are telling us in stark terms that it cannot be left to them to prevent disaster from befalling the world,” British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said at the Security Council. “We cannot ignore them because they are right.’’ apnews.com/article/ai-a...

The current moment in artificial intelligence development "calls for extreme care", OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told an emergency session of the UN Security Council on Wednesday following weeks of global headlines…

The UN Security Council meeting on AI was historic. Many wise, thoughtful, well-informed voices spoke out. Sadly, but no longer surprisingly, the US delegate was not among them! For me Columbia was a stand out.
