Comment by Ruben Gallego

U.S. Senator from Arizona who has called for safeguards and human judgment in autonomous weapon systems.
His concerns are not isolated. Leading AI researchers have warned that increasingly autonomous systems could create risks ranging from large-scale misuse to circumstances in which humans have difficulty maintaining meaningful control over advanced systems. That warning follows a broader 2023 public statement, signed by more than 350 AI executives and researchers including Anthropic's own chief executive, declaring that mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority on par with pandemics and nuclear war.
