Welcome to the conversation<\/p>\n
The last week or so has seen disturbing claims about the capacity of superintelligent AI to destroy the planet<\/a>. It has also seen warnings coming from figures within the industry itself, including Anthropic\u2019s report that criminals, state-sponsored groups, spyware vendors, scientists and propagandists have attempted to use its models to \u201cdesign missiles and bombs, create deadly pathogens and surveil dissidents\u201d<\/a> and Elon Musk\u2019s claim it could be \u201cmore dangerous than nukes<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n Our reporting team has been trying to make sense of the scale of these claims. Is the great AI freakout justified? They will be here from 3pm BST (4pm CEST, 10am EDT) to try and answer any questions you might have.<\/p>\n Aisha Down<\/a> is the Guardian\u2019s global technology reporter, Dan Milmo<\/a> is our global technology editor and Blake Montgomery<\/a> is tech editor for Guardian US and author of the TechScape newsletter (sign up to that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n What worries you most about AI?
