United Nations human rights chief Volker Turk calls for “urgent action” to rein in “frontier” artificial intelligence, warning that the technology poses “unprecedented risks.” Turk’s comments come amid a flurry of concern over the risks posed by AI, with employees at the firm Anthropic expressing fears that the technology could escape human control, and CEOs Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk all showing support for a coordinated slowdown in development. Unregulated AI poses “existential risks to every aspect of our lives,” Turk adds.
