AI godfathers warn of runaway ‘intelligence explosion’
Leading AI researchers caution that unchecked artificial intelligence could trigger a rapid self‑improving 'intelligence explosion', posing profound risks. A new report, co‑authored by OpenAI’s chief scientist, describes this scenario as the most consequential technological development in history and urges robust governance, safety measures, and international cooperation to prevent runaway outcomes. It stresses the need for policy frameworks and safety research.
