The last week or so has seen disturbing claims about the capacity of superintelligent AI to destroy the planet. It has also seen warnings coming from figures within the industry itself, including AnthropicâÂÂs report that criminals, state-sponsored groups, spyware vendors, scientists and propagandists have attempted to use its models to âÂÂdesign missiles and bombs, create deadly pathogens and surveil dissidentsâ and Elon MuskâÂÂs claim it could be âÂÂmore dangerous than nukesâÂÂ.
Our reporting team has been trying to make sense of the scale of these claims. Is the great AI freakout justified? They will be here from 3pm BST (4pm CEST, 10am EDT) to try and answer any questions you might have.
