Is it too late for humanity to take back control of AI? | BBC News

A BBC News episode, "AI Decoded," explores the growing debate over AI safety, regulation, and control, prompted by a researcher's warning of potential human extinction from powerful AI systems. The program discusses fears that advanced AI could outpace human understanding, cyberattacks, biological threats, and the challenge of containing powerful models. Experts, including Andrew Weber and Max Corbridge, examine AI "kill switches," international oversight, government roles, and whether US-China rivalry hinders cooperation, questioning if AI companies are moving too fast and if meaningful safeguards are possible.
