Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been likened to nuclear weapons as a revolutionary technology with immense potential for both positive advancements and catastrophic harm. This comparison underscores the need to approach AI with caution, ethics, and regulation. Unlike nuclear weapons, AI is widely accessible, inexpensive to develop, and lacks robust global oversight, making it vulnerable to misuse. From cyberattacks and deepfake videos to autonomous weaponry and economic manipulation, AI's potential for harm is both insidious and far-reaching.
