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
