There can be little doubt that fast-paced AI technology development will continue by all parties that are incentivized by their quest for market dominance, ultimately by money and geopolitical power. […] Understanding that both human-based risks can lead to catastrophic events should prompt AI CEOs and world leaders to be ultra vigilant, recognize the peril ahead and slow down their fast-paced race to attain market and/or geopolitical dominance.
