Global leaders warn of AI disaster; EU seen as potential brake on arms race · 8 sources tracked

A growing consensus among prominent figures like Bill Gates and Bernie Sanders suggests the rapid advancement of AI poses significant risks, including ecological collapse, financial crises, and authoritarianism.

However, concerns remain that even if Western nations pause development, countries like China will continue their pursuit of AI dominance, viewing it as essential infrastructure and military capability. AI
