IMF's Kristalina Georgieva warns AI risks without rules in Bangkok
AI might sound exciting, but Kristalina Georgieva, head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), just gave a heads-up: without strong rules and ethics, AI could actually cause more problems than it solves.
At the IMF and World Bank meetings in Bangkok, she compared the current rush to develop AI to a Formula One race with no safety barriers, fast but risky.
She believes industry self-regulation is appropriate, with governments involved through engagement and input.
US officials consider 'super intelligence' rename
Others at the meeting agreed that AI needs some ground rules.
Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark said building AI without regulations is like racing at full speed with no brakes.
Meanwhile, US officials want to highlight how AI can boost the economy, and are even thinking about renaming it "super intelligence" to show its growing impact.
