Thinking like a physicist, it is easy to see
Risk = probability of event happening x impact
The probability that AI can develop into something malicious is well documented in several articles/papers and the impact would be disastrous for humans (also documented).
The potential for harm must be contained until better understood.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about how, when and where to introduce or implement AI is a matter for individuals and organisations, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could have a petition calling for the Government to commission a review into the potential impact of automation and AI on society, if that is something you wish to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
