Kit Knightly \u2013 Off-Guardian Aug 27, 2026<\/strong><\/h1>\n

And so we\u2019re back in the world of scary AI.<\/p>\n

I know, I said I wasn\u2019t going to write about this anymore \u2013 and, I know, I have a series on water bankruptcy to continue \u2013 but they just won\u2019t let it go, so neither can I.<\/p>\n

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.<\/p>\n

In my last piece on this topic<\/a> I described the rogue AI thus\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cRogue AIs\u201d have become the lab leak theory of the tech sector, a sci-fi horror premise that flies in the face of reason, pretending to vague ideas of \u201crevelations\u201d and \u201caccountability\u201d, while encouraging panic as a response and social control as a solution.<\/p>\n

Little did I know that at the exact moment I was writing those words, the Wall Street Journal was prepping to publish an opinion piece headlined<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Next \u2018Lab Leak\u2019 Could Be AI \u2013 Recent sandbox breaches demonstrate the need for federal guardrails.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s funny to me.<\/p>\n

In other \u2018scary AI\u2019 stories this week, the Washington Post was flabbergasted to discover that ChatGPT interactions are being used in court proceedings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yes, apparently AI companies are doing what ALL the big tech companies have been doing for DECADES and is snooping on our data and interactions. But suddenly it\u2019s news.<\/p>\n

A new study from Yale<\/a> has found that \u2013 OMG \u2013\u00a0 AI chatbots maybe manipulating users as a form of advertising!<\/p>\n

\u2026again, just like all the big tech firms do all the time and have done for years.<\/p>\n

A senior staff member from OpenAI has told the Guardian<\/a> we should all prepare for \u201cpersistent\u201d AI-powered cyber attacks unless we \u201cimplement new safety standards\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And the Times is warning<\/a> that AI could be used by \u201cunsophisticated\u201d terrorists to build bombs or bio-weapons.<\/p>\n

But the BIG news is that Big Billy Billions has shared his BIG thoughts.<\/p>\n

Yes, Mr Gates himself has \u2013 allegedly \u2013 penned a long essay<\/a> on the future of AI, and how potentially scary<\/em> it could be. He begins\u2026<\/p>\n

The turbulent AI era is here. The choices we make now are critical.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot to unpack in this thing (you really need to read it), from his call for \u201cHuman Reserved\u201d jobs, to his idea to tax AI usage and robots, but mostly his thoughts on the need for regulation<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Preferably global regulation:<\/p>\n

even a country that gets its own house in order will still be exposed to risks that cross borders. This is why an international organization will need to be built in parallel.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s \u201cthe message\u201d<\/strong>. You can ignore most of the other 10,000 words.<\/p>\n

It echoes the sentiments of over 1300 AI \u201cinsiders\u201d who have all signed an open letter<\/a> calling on governments to cooperate in regulating AI and force the industry to slow down its progress, citing the risk that \u201ccapability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This clearly feeds back into the \u201crogue AI agents\u201d story.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, and possibly worryingly, Bill Gates essay compares AI to nuclear weapons:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an inspections regime for nuclear weapons, regulations for international aviation, and agreements that protect the ozone layer. A new global organization for AI will need elements of all three and more.<\/p>\n

Maybe even more worryingly Billy is far from the only person to make this comparison in just the last couple of days.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s becoming a common refrain<\/a>. Surprisingly common<\/a>. This next\u00a0piece even conflates the risk<\/a>, suggesting AI makes an accidental nuclear launch possible<\/p>\n

But never fear, the Atlantic has a solution:<\/p>\n

AI systems are at risk of becoming dangerously powerful\u2014and there may be only one way to control the technology\u2019s development, Rog\u00e9 Karma argues: https:\/\/t.co\/C9HydyATlJ<\/a><\/p>\n
