That's like scientists calling for a ban on nuclear weapons, . . . . or anything else that could be used to do harm.

Didn't scientists back in the early days of nuclear weapons recommend a ban on nuclear weapons? How well did that work?

If countries enter into some sort of anti-weaponized-AI (AWAI) agreement, how do they ensure cooperation? Seems like it would be much easier to hide weaponized AI than nuclear weapons.

Maybe we need an AI Doomsday Clock such as the one the Union of Concerned Scientists set up to reflect their perception of the danger of nuclear war.

Did anyone else think of Gort after reading this article?

And these assumed superpowers will abide to loosing the edge on their lust for power and world manipulation? Are they going to destroy the existing Ai weapons that are in use today? On the surface it will cease, underground and behind the scene, it will flourish, no matter what scientist want or say as governments know, the majority of Jo Public is gullible.

My apologies, ladies and gentlemen, Pandora's box has been opened. Weaponized AI is inevitable. No little feel good piece of paper is going to impede that.

As and Pandora has left the building (and taken her AI drones with her). They were way late.

I doubt they'd be successful in this demand, ever. But I'll bet they feel better, and can now brush off their shoulders and say " well, we did our duty" and tried.

Now that it is possible for AI to have our permission to kill and they start manufacturing their replicas who will be able to stop them from deciding we as a parasite on this planet is not in need of being extinguished.
