The Urgent Need for AI Regulation
Artificial intelligence (AI) presents both significant potential and considerable risks, necessitating the establishment of regulatory frameworks. Industry leaders, including the CEO of OpenAI, have emphasized that preventing existential risks associated with AI should be prioritized on a global scale, alongside other pressing issues like pandemics and nuclear threats. Despite these warnings, meaningful government action regarding AI regulation remains lacking, particularly with the forthcoming administration which appears dismissive of the associated dangers.
