Vil regulere AI: – Kraftig nok til å forårsake én milliard dødsfall

In a recent interview with American NBC, tech billionaire Bill Gates emphasized the need for stringent regulation and increased oversight of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, warning that it could cause a billion deaths. Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic employee, recently claimed there is a 10% chance that AI could kill all humans within the next decade.

Leaders of companies Anthropic and OpenAI agreed that the rapid advancement of this technology requires slowing down. Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, is actively engaging in the debate on AI dangers. According to NBC, Gates stated that AI is powerful enough to trigger events leading to a billion fatalities, although it's difficult to reach a certainty of 100%.

He emphasized that it's never been an arms race with a single weapon like the combination of malicious individuals using the latest AI tools. Gates believes that self-regulation is not sufficient and that government and political authorities must enter the discussion about how to protect and monitor these technologies. Recent warnings from sources like the CEO of the Norwegian Oil Fund, Nicolai Tangen, about the potential increase in bioterrorism risks due to AI have added to the growing concern over AI's potential threats.

AI companies, including Anthropic, are actively working to prevent the malicious use of their tools. Anthropic itself has reported that their AI tool Claude has been attempted to be used for developing missile guidance systems in Yemen.
