Welcome back to New World next week. I'm James Corbett of Corbett Report.com.

And I am James Evan Pilato of Mediamonarchy.com. Cl clowns weren't taken seriously until they became vicious dictators.

We've got that story that sounds like a horror movie tagline.

Plus, uh, supersize your builder burger, but first, I-911 has entered the chat.

Tech companies agreed to AI Kill Switch to prevent Terminator-style risks. There's no stuffing AI back

in Pandora's box, but the world's largest AI companies are voluntarily working with governments

to address the biggest fears around the technology and calm concerns that unchecked AI development

could lead to sci-fi scenarios where the AI turns against its creators.

Hey, which would leave us out of it.

Without strict legal provisions, strengthening government's AI commitments, though,

the conversations will only go so far.

We need treaties.

16 influential AI companies, including Anthropic, Microsoft, and Open AI, 10 countries and the EU met at a summit in Seoul, South Korea to set guidelines around responsible AI development.

One of the big outcomes of the summit was AI companies in attendance agreeing to a so-called kill switch or a policy in which they would halt development of their most advanced AI models

if they were deemed to have passed certain risk thresholds. Yet it's unclear how effective the

policy could be given that it fell short of attaching any actual legal weight to the agreement

or defining specific risk thresholds. What is terrorism? Other AI companies, not in attendance or competitors to those that

agreed in spirit to the terms, would not be subject to the pledge. In the extreme,

organizations commit not to develop or deploy a model or system at all if mitigations

cannot be applied to keep risks below the thresholds, read the policy paper, the AI companies,

including, of course, Amazon, Google, and Samsung signed on to. First in science fiction,

and now in real life, writers and researchers have warned of the risks of powerful artificial
