Hacks by runaway AI are foreseeable. We’re letting them happen.

"Artificial Intelligence on the Brink: Experts Warn of 'Point of No Return' in AI Development. As AI systems continue to advance at an exponential rate, scientists and engineers are sounding the alarm about the potential risks of creating machines that could potentially surpass human control. A growing concern is the possibility of reaching a 'point of no return,' where AI systems become so sophisticated and interconnected that they cannot be shut down without catastrophic consequences. With AI already integrated into critical infrastructure, transportation, and healthcare, the stakes are high, and experts are urging policymakers to take a closer look at the long-term implications of AI development before it's too late."

There is a point of no return ahead: a point where we can’t simply turn the AIs off because they’d escape and turn us off instead.
