Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, expressed concerns about the potential misuse of artificial intelligence by rogue states like North Korea, Iran, and Russia. During an interview with BBC Radio, he emphasized that these entities could develop weapons from AI technology that threaten innocent lives. Schmidt advocated for the U.S. export controls on microchips supporting advanced AI systems, highlighting the need for government oversight while cautioning against over-regulation that could hinder innovation. His comments came after the AI Action summit, where 57 countries signed a declaration promoting inclusive AI, though the U.S. and U.K. declined to do so.
I'm always worried about the Osama bin Laden scenario, where you have some truly evil person who takes over some aspect of our modern life and uses it to harm innocent people.
It's really important that governments understand what we're doing and keep their eye on us.
