Today’s AI won’t achieve superintelligence. But catastrophic risk is real | Sunita Verma

Summary

An opinion piece by Sunita Verma argues that today's AI will not reach superintelligence, yet the same technical limits that prevent it still make current systems dangerous. It cites Geoffrey Hinton's estimate of at least a 10% risk of human extinction within the next few decades, and Dario Amodei's warning that unchecked AI "could outrun our ability to understand and control these systems." The source text is truncated before the author's regulatory proposals.
