Current and former employees from Google DeepMind and OpenAI have delivered a fresh warning that AI could lead to human extinction.

The open letter, signed by 11 staff members, alleged that unregulated AI could aid in the spread of misinformation and increase inequalities in the world, which could ultimately lead to eventual human extinction

AI companies possess substantial non-public information about the capabilities and limitations of their systems, the adequacy of their protective measures, and the risk levels of different kinds of harm, the letter said.

However, the letter warned that AI companies currently have weak obligations to share this information with governments and regulators about the capabilities of their systems.
