Kevin Rudd said the growing ability of autonomous AI systems to infiltrate or attack digital infrastructure presented significant risks to national security, financial systems and essential services.
Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd warned the United States and China that a major AI-related security crisis may occur before they can implement adequate safeguards. Speaking at an event in Mumbai, Mr. Rudd expressed concern that domestic political divisions and strategic competition between the two powers could delay agreements on managing the risks posed by autonomous AI systems. He called for urgent cooperation to prevent emerging technologies from triggering international conflict.
