Accordingly, leaders and experts emphasized that addressing risks from AI must be a "global priority, alongside other risks such as pandemics and nuclear war." The statement was signed by dozens of experts, including Mr. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI Company, which created the ChatGPT platform.

ChatGPT gained popularity late last year for its ability to generate essays and poems from the briefest of prompts and chat. The ChatGPT craze has attracted billions of dollars in investment in the AI ​​field. However, industry experts have sounded the alarm, from biased AI algorithms to the risk of mass job losses as AI-powered automation infiltrates people’s daily lives.

The latest statement, posted on the website of the Center for AI Safety (a US-based non-profit), does not provide any details about the potential existential threat posed by AI.
