Mr Sunak has issued a “doom-laden warning that the rise of artificial intelligence could make humanity extinct”, according to the Metro. The paper says that, in a speech just days before he hosts a global summit on emerging technology, Mr Sunak argued that mitigating the risks of AI should be a global priority alongside stopping nuclear war and pandemics, though added that he did not want to be alarmist and said it was not an issue “people need to be losing sleep over right now”.
