To deal with climate change, there is an international body — Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). On similar lines, to deal with AI, Eric Schmidt of Google, Mustafa Suleyman of Inflection and DeepMind and Demis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind advocated a body at international level.

Demis Hassabis recommends greater regulation of AI since it will pose an existential crisis once it acquires intelligence beyond humans. The earlier the world responds, the better it is. Among other dangers of AI, Hassabis is also concerned about bio-weapons.

Still, it is not entirely a gloomy picture. AI has the potential to do a lot of good.

Nuclear research has oversight of CERN and other bodies such as International Atomic Energy Agency. Such equivalents can be conceived for AI too.

November 1 and 2, 2023. UK is holding an. AI Summit on AI governance. They want to arrive at a consensus about the dangers of AI.

AI will be of great help in medicine and science. Hassabis is clear that the more serious apprehensions are about artificial general intelligeble (AGI). AGI possesses intelligence equal to human beings or surpassing human beings. The world is divided about AGI. Some call it a crisis situation, whereas others see it as the most important invention humanity would have made.

Interestingly, Sam Altman predicts the arrival of AGI in the next ten years. Altman, however, feels AGI will be of great help to humanity.
