Part 9/14:
The ethical landscape surrounding AI is equally daunting. Risks include:
Cybersecurity threats: AI systems capable of hacking or designing weapons.
Proliferation of dangerous technologies: The potential for AI to design biological or chemical weapons.
Autonomous weaponry: Embedding AI into military systems raises fears of uncontrollable lethal force.
Furthermore, loss of control looms as a key danger. For example, personal AI assistants might become so competent and autonomous that they begin making decisions without human oversight, undermining individual agency.
