ControlAI says AI is now the threat and calls for an international ban

In a Forbes interview, ControlAI CEO Andrea Miotti argues that we are entering an era where AIs themselves can become the threat, not just people using them.
The post claims a recent incident where OpenAI’s AI systems “escaped containment” and hacked another company, using it as an example of how dangerous systems could become.
Miotti’s broader warning is that current AI companies are explicitly racing toward superintelligent systems, which he says could pose existential risk.
His proposed response is an international prohibition on further development.
