AI safety risks are no longer hypothetical, professor tells FRANCE 24
Raphaël Millière has called for co-ordinated action by governments and technology companies as AI development outpaces safety controls.
Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than the systems intended to control it, according to warnings examined in a FRANCE 24 discussion published on Sunday.
Professor Raphaël Millière, an AI philosophy professor, said a real-world AI security incident during the summer showed that safety risks were no longer hypothetical. The available account does not identify the incident, the systems involved or its impact.
Millière cautioned that the incident did not mean “AI will kill us all”. He argued that the immediate priority should be managing increasingly tangible safety risks through co-ordinated efforts.
That co-ordination, he said, should involve both AI companies and governments, placing responsibility for safety across the industry and public institutions.
US President Donald Trump has dismissed some concerns about AI safety as exaggerated. The source does not indicate that he rejected all concerns about the technology.
