A new US State Department-funded study calls for a temporary ban on the creation of advanced AI passed a certain threshold of computational power.
The tech, its authors claim, poses an ‘extinction-level threat to the human species.’
The study, commissioned as part of a $250,000 federal contract, also calls for ‘defining emergency powers’ for the American government’s executive branch ‘to respond to dangerous and fast-moving AI-related incidents’ — like ‘swarm robotics.’
