While AI poses existential risks, I believe these risks are not immediate; future generations will face challenges as AI approaches higher levels of intelligence.

The potential for nuclear threats arises from AI advancements, as nations may resort to preemptive actions to maintain control over superintelligence.

Today, the major global risks include climate change, bioterrorism, pandemics, and the control of artificial intelligence, alongside the historical threat of nuclear war.

The original concerns about AI were about existential risks, but the conversation has shifted to societal risks, which often intertwine with political issues.

The collaboration between countries on existential threats, like AI, is crucial, as seen during the Cold War when the US and Soviet Union worked together to prevent nuclear war.

The U.S. must balance the need for technological advancement with the risks posed by adversaries like China, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of AI development.

In the context of AI, both the U.S. and China see it as a critical weapon, leading to a prisoner's dilemma where each feels the existential need to develop AI first, resulting in a lack of brakes on its advancement.

To contain AI, we must reduce the number of actors with access to existential threat technologies and leverage existing military and economic incentives to prevent proliferation.

The current form of AI could escalate existing demographic tensions and potentially lead to nuclear conflicts.
