In the face of a national debate surrounding AI safety and superintelligence, UC Berkeley researchers are sounding the alarms about the long-term risks of AI advancement. As AI grows more complex, experts worry that new models could eventually reach superintelligence — gaining the ability to outsmart human minds. Their concern is that this could lead to disasters on all levels, from an AI agent shutting down electrical grids to a collapse of the internet and the creation of bioweapons. Stuart Russell, a campus electrical engineering and computer sciences professor and founder of the UC Berkeley-led Center for Human-Compatible AI, or CHAI, said he is concerned about humans losing control over AI systems, even to the extent of large-scale cyberattacks or the creation of bioweapons.
