The statement, published on the website of the Centre for AI Safety, is the latest in a series of almost hourly warnings of the “existential threat” machines pose to humanity over recent months, with everyone from historian Yuval Noah Harari to some of the creators of AI itself speaking out about the problems humanity may face, from AI being weaponised to humans becoming dependent on it.
