A report released on Monday that was commissioned by the U.S. State Department warns that artificial intelligence could pose an 'extinction-level threat.''Given the growing risk to national security posed by rapidly expanding AI capabilities from weaponization and loss of control—and particularly, the fact that the ongoing proliferation of these capabilities serves to amplify both risks—there is a clear and urgent need for the U.S. government to intervene,' the report states.
