Advanced artificial intelligence could threaten to "kill everyone", experts warned. They also warned that if it is not regulated like nuclear weapons, there will be nothing humans can do to prevent it. The researchers told MPs in the UK that without regulation, they could create "out-of-control" systems that could eventually "wipe out the entire human race". Experts have highlighted both negative and positive aspects for Artificial Intelligence (AI). They made their comments at a meeting of the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee.

Real Arms Race
AI could eventually wipe out humanity when it becomes smarter than us, according to Oxford University experts Michael Cohen, professor of machine learning and researcher in engineering science at Oxford University. Professor Michael Osborne warned of a "real arms race" between nation states and tech firms. He called for global regulation to prevent AI from posing a real threat to humanity when used for military purposes. According to the information, Osborne issued a stern warning that there is no limit to how far artificial intelligence can go.
Is it a real arms race?
Scientists and philosophers argue that artificial intelligence could eventually pose an existential threat to humanity if it is not directed towards useful purposes. The creation of dangerously advanced machine learning algorithms by nations and technology firms competing for military and civilian advantage has turned the development of AI into a " real arms race". PhD student Michale Cohen stated that artificial intelligence is not currently capable of doing things that humans can do. However, he warned that humanity should advance AI technologies carefully and slowly.
According to the information, experts have called for worldwide regulation to stop companies from creating uncontrollable systems. And if the technology developed is not enough to eliminate competition, they say, it will wipe out the entire human race, as there is no limit to how far artificial intelligence can advance. Experts are therefore calling on nations to come together to recognize the "existential threat" and stop the development of dangerous systems and risky algorithms.
