WASHINGTON, (Sputnik) - Calls to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States are echoed by 23 states that urge the US Congress to take relevant measures to control the technology, ABC News reported on Thursday.
The call is being led by the attorneys general of 23 states, the District of Columbia and American Samoa, the report said, citing a letter signed by congressional leaders earlier on Thursday, urging regulations and safety protocols for AI.
"Recent developments show that unchecked AI endangers Americans and could soon threaten our financial system, critical infrastructure, and national security," the letter said, as quoted by the report. "Federal oversight is urgently needed to prevent future disasters."
In recent weeks, a public debate regarding AI-related risks has unfolded. Two employees from Anthropic shared the opinion that there was a 10% probability that AI could destroy humanity within the next decade.
