> Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said AI is unlikely to destroy humanity but could cause severe damage. He argued that generative AI creators are not sincere about their concerns, while a more realistic danger is AI-controlled software causing disasters at major production facilities or transport hubs. He called for countries to agree on general AI-regulation principles.
