00:00 Now, doing the right thing, not the easy thing, means being honest with people about the risks
00:06 from these technologies.
00:08 So I won't hide them from you.
00:10 That's why today, for the first time, we've taken the highly unusual step of publishing
00:15 our analysis on the risks of AI, including an assessment by the UK intelligence communities.
00:22 These reports provide a stark warning.
00:26 Get this wrong, and AI could make it easier to build chemical or biological weapons.
00:32 Terrorist groups could use AI to spread fear and destruction on an even greater scale.
00:37 Criminals could exploit AI for cyber attacks, disinformation, fraud, or even child sexual
00:43 abuse.
00:44 And in the most unlikely but extreme cases, there is even the risk that humanity could
00:50 lose control of AI completely through the kind of AI sometimes referred to as superintelligence.
00:56 Indeed, to quote the statement made earlier this year by hundreds of the world's leading
01:00 AI experts, mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside
01:08 other societal scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.
