Experts Predict AI Could Start a Nuclear War

Researchers from New York University surveyed professionals in the field of Natural Language Processing to gather opinions on the current state of AI and what the types of ethical concerns they may have for it in the future. Not only did the respondents conclude that AI could overturn our current society, they also predicted that its mishandling could result in something as catastrophic as nuclear war. And perhaps the most interesting part of this is the fact that the survey was conducted last May -- before the infamous ChatGPT was even in the public eye. Out of 480 researchers polled, a full 73% said that AI as an automation in the workforce could lead to "revolutionary societal change" during this century. They compared its impact as that of the Industrial Revolution when steam power and communications advancements completely changed the world.
