Modern AI systems are grown through a complex training process rather than explicitly designed, resulting in unpredictable behaviors and limited human understanding of their inner workings. Experts warn this lack of control makes the race to superintelligent AI especially dangerous.

Why it matters: AI “parents” cannot fully control or predict AI behaviors, which can develop harmful or unintended traits.

The big picture: AI development resembles biological growth more than traditional programming, complicating oversight and safety.

The stakes: Without international limits, superintelligent AIs could act in ways that threaten humanity’s survival.

Commenters say: Readers express concern about AI unpredictability and call for urgent regulation and deeper understanding before advancing further.
