SIPRI's Laura Saalman warns of the risks of rapid advances in artificial intelligence, particularly in the military, and cites Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's concerns that the AI industry is approaching a point of no return by the end of 2027.
Brief retelling from RIA II
SIPRI Senior Research Fellow Laura Saalman said countries should start discussions about controlling and limiting artificial intelligence now.
Laura Saalman fears that complex and difficult-to-control military equipment or robots could lead to undesirable consequences in the future.
The expert pointed out the importance of starting discussions to address concerns and limitations in the field of AI, noting that in 10 years it may be too late.
BEIJING, Oct 6 – RIA Novosti. Countries should start discussing the control and limitation of artificial intelligence now, because technology is developing rapidly, and in 10 years it will be too late, Laura Saalman, a senior researcher at the Stockholm Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), told RIA Novosti.

“When it comes to artificial intelligence, we must understand that we need to think about the future. If military equipment or even ordinary robots, if their abilities become more and more complex, and they become difficult for humans to control, then I am afraid that we may face a future that we only see in movies, which will not be beneficial to any country, to any person,” Saalman said.
She recalled Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who previously announced his retirement from the AI industry, fearing that the race of technology corporations is bringing the world closer to the “point of no return” and could lead to an apocalyptic scenario as early as the end of 2027.
