¿Qué crees que significa la IA para nuestro futuro y por qué?
AI could bring enormous benefits, but the default trajectory is not automatically safe. The central issue is whether humanity retains control as systems become more capable. If a system gives impressive answers or performs valuable work, that demonstrates usefulness—not that its objectives remain compatible with ours, that failures can be contained, or that humans can reliably intervene.
That is why voluntary promises and transparency are insufficient. Developers should have to make justified safety cases and face liability when they create unacceptable risks. Safety is not an obstacle to progress; it is what makes lasting benefits possible.
Autonomous weapons make the problem tangible. Cheap, small systems that select and attack human targets could make mass killing scalable and widely accessible. Small autonomous anti-personnel weapons should be banned before a catastrophe, not afterward.
None of this means the outcome is predetermined. Asking for a fixed probability of disaster is rather like standing on a ship headed toward rocks and debating the probability of collision. Our task is to steer: establish enforceable requirements, preserve meaningful human control, and mobilize public and political action while there is still time.
