Eric Schmidt fears terrorist groups or countries such as North Korea, Iran or Russia may use AI to develop weapons
Google’s former chief executive has warned that artificial intelligence could be used by rogue states such as North Korea, Iran and Russia to “harm innocent people”.
“Think about North Korea, or Iran, or even Russia, who have some evil goal. This technology is fast enough for them to adopt that they could misuse it and do real harm.” He urged government oversight on private tech companies that are developing AI models, but added that over-regulation could stifle innovation. “It’s really important that governments understand what we’re doing and keep their eye on us,” he said.
The US vice-president, JD Vance, has said that regulation would “kill a transformative industry just as it’s taking off”.
