Why experts fear superintelligent AI – and what we can do about it | ControlAI

Experts are warning AI could soon cause human extinction. The top three most cited AI scientists, Nobel Prize winners, and even the CEOs of AI companies themselves say this threat should be treated as seriously as nuclear war and they really mean it. Everyone could die. Um, I’m more concerned for whether my children and the children of my friends are going to survive. The bad case is like lights out for all of us. So why are experts suddenly warning about this? While we go about our daily lives, AI is evolving beyond anything anyone could possibly control. AI companies are openly racing to create super intelligence, self-improving AI, vastly more capable than any person, any company, or any nation. Many AI researchers think these systems could arrive in the next 5 years. If super intelligence is created, experts warn humanity will be powerless against it. And we’re getting closer by the day. Right now, AI can already do things people would have called sci-fi just a few years ago. AI engineers say creating today’s AI is less like programming a machine and more like growing an organism. These systems are unpredictable black boxes and their creators admit maybe we now understand 3% of how they work. Currently AI already behaves in unintended ways. In safety testing, AI models sometimes blackmail engineers who try to shut them down and their creators cannot prevent this. With every day that passes, AI is only getting smarter and more powerful as hundreds of billions are being invested in building super intelligence. That’s why experts are warning that AI could end humanity. So, what can we do about this? Humanity has dealt with existential threats before. We saved the ozone layer from catastrophic collapse and we avoided nuclear war. Now we must prevent the development of uncontrollable super intelligent AI that threatens our civilization. But what can you do? Control AI has built simple tools to help you contact your representatives with just a minute of your time along with resources to learn more and share the issue with others. Take action today. Make your voice heard and help keep humanity in control.
