When I stopped by MIT’s Dome at Davos this year, I sat in on a very interesting panel about international AI development that included Sir Demis Hassabis, the nobel-prize winnong cofounder of DeepMind, discussing (amongst other things) the dangers of “rogue” AI. Sir Demis said that he was “cautiously optimistic” about the future.

Sir Demis said that we are now entering the era of agentic AI and that this meant new dangers.
Youshua Bengio took an interesting perspective, noting that the security services work to protect us from the actions of hostile nations and that perhaps we should view AI as one of those hostile powers.
