MIT physicist Max Tegmark has warned that the race to develop increasingly powerful artificial intelligence is moving faster than efforts to make the technology safe. Speaking at the Web Summit in Lisbon, Tegmark said researchers are working toward Artificial General Intelligence and potentially Superintelligence — systems that could learn, adapt and act with far greater independence than today’s AI tools. He said the biggest risk could come from machines that combine advanced intelligence, broad capabilities and physical autonomy, potentially making them difficult for humans to control. Tegmark argued that AI development needs stronger safety checks, similar to those required for other high-risk technologies. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Technology #WebSummit #MIT #AIFuture #Tech #AIthreat
