· World · Economic Times, Bloomberg
Nobel Peace Prize much Maria Ressa warned that artificial intelligence will strip humanity of agency without immediate legislation. During a visit to Oslo, the co-chair of the United Nations international scientific panel on AI described how technology has already hijacked human attention and biological instincts.
