Artificial intelligence (AI) could create a “dystopia” a government minister has warned after Rishi Sunak’s adviser on the technology said it could become powerful enough to “kill many humans” in only two years’ time.
Matt Clifford said even short-term risks were “pretty scary”, with AI having the potential to create cyber and biological weapons that could inflict many deaths. It comes as Mr Sunak heads to the US, where he is set to try to persuade president Joe Biden of his “grand plan” for the UK to be at the centre of international AI regulation.
