ControlAI says AI is now the threat and calls for an international ban
zetalyrae · x · 2026-07-24
- 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.
