Experts Warn of AI's Dual Threat to Health and Existence.

Doctors and public health experts have called for a halt to the development of artificial general intelligence until it is regulated, warning that AI could harm the health of millions and pose an existential threat to humanity. While AI has the potential to revolutionize healthcare, it also has the potential to produce negative health impacts, including the potential for AI errors to cause patient harm, issues with data privacy and security, and the use of AI in ways that will worsen social and health inequalities. The risks also include the mental health effects of mass unemployment should AI-based systems displace large numbers of workers.
