The impressive rise of generative AI systems such as ChatGPT has dazzled users with its ability to mimic human responses, while raising fears about the risks they pose, sparking a global debate on how to design safeguards for the technology. .
world priority
Scientists and technology leaders have warned that mitigating the risks of AI should be a global priority because it can lead to human extinction, according to a statement posted online Tuesday and signed by hundreds of experts.
