A government-commissioned report by Gladstone AI cites urgent national security concerns over advanced AI and AGI, likening the threat level to that of nuclear weapons.

The report calls for immediate US government action to mitigate the destabilizing effects of AI on global security, including the threat of weaponization and loss of control over AI systems.

Recommendations include legal limits on AI model training, tighter control of AI chip manufacturing and export, and the creation of an international AI Supply Chain Control Regime.

It suggests federal investment in AI alignment research and proposes the establishment of a dedicated federal AI agency to regulate the AI industry.

The report adds to a chorus of warnings about AI's existential risks and underscores the pressing need for increased government regulation in the field.

U.S. intelligence officials also acknowledge the escalating threat from technological advances, highlighting economic, misinformation, cyber threats, and election interference challenges.
