This chapter highlights the urgent need for safety measures in the development of AI technologies by examining historical examples such as nuclear capabilities and the printing revolution. It discusses the potential dangers of AI, particularly in undermining democratic processes and fostering authoritarianism, while calling for international cooperation and rigorous regulations. The chapter also explores the complexities surrounding AI decision-making and the necessity for robust regulatory institutions to ensure ethical standards in its deployment.
