Former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice told CNN on Monday that America and China ought to jointly pause further artificial intelligence progress so specialists can fix core technical dangers first.

She said rapid advances toward machines matching or exceeding human capability could enable terrorist cyber operations, biological arms, mass fatalities, and a complete loss of human oversight. Washington and Beijing, plus other governments if possible, must confront those dangers now rather than wait for perfect conditions.

Rice proposed that both presidents direct their domestic firms to halt further work until a joint panel of global authorities devises technical solutions that block abuse and keep people in charge.
