Misuse of AI is brands’ top reputational threat, new survey says

The findings come after warnings from tech leaders that AI placed in the wrong hands could trigger larger threats such as nuclear war or bioweaponry destruction Misusing artificial intelligence (AI) is the top threat to companies’ reputations - more so than being accused of putting children in the way of mental, emotional or physical harm and issues exposed by the US-Israel war on Iran, among other brand risks, according to a new survey of more than 150 public affairs leaders. Those findings in the new edition of the quarterly Reputation Risk Index, released on Tuesday, came on the heels of other perhaps more dire warnings from leading tech figures that AI in the wrong hands could precipitate existential threats on a mass scale such as nuclear war or destruction by bioweaponry.

Is regulation enough to stop AI systems killing us all? | Letters

Martyn Thomas wonders how any rational person can argue that independent oversight and regulation will be sufficient Once again a frontier AI model has been withdrawn because it fails safety tests ( OpenAI scraps release of new model over safety concerns in internal testing, 28 September ). There is the usual call for “independent oversight and regulation”, though never any explanation of how this would work or, most importantly, what evidence should persuade a regulator that an AI system is adequately safe. There is a long engineering tradition of regulating safety-critical software systems, such as those controlling aircraft or nuclear power stations; international standards require “safety cases” - rigorous analyses that show that the possible hazards have been identified and controlled and that the probability of an accident is extremely low.
