Uh-oh.

' #Artificialintelligence companies have been urged to replicate the safety calculations that underpinned Robert #Oppenheimer ’s first #nucleartest before they release all-powerful systems.

Max #Tegmark, a leading voice in #AI safety, said he had carried out calculations akin to those of the US physicist Arthur #Compton before the #Trinitytest and had found a 90% probability that a highly advanced AI would pose an existential threat.'

on #April25 we #antifascist Italians will celebrate the #Liberation of Italy from #NaziFascism: we were very lucky that in that April 1945 Hitler did not have the atomic bomb.
