Protesters in San Francisco demand US-China treaty on artificial intelligence
Protesters in San Francisco have called on US and Chinese leaders to sign a treaty restricting advanced artificial intelligence development.
Demonstrators gathered in San Francisco to call for an international treaty between the United States and China to halt the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Organized by the movement Stop The AI Race, the protest highlighted concerns over existential risks posed by superintelligent systems exceeding human cognitive abilities.
The demonstration comes ahead of the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, where U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet. Organizers urged both leaders to negotiate terms that would prohibit the creation of unconstrained superintelligence to protect future generations.
