NBC Nightly News Full Episode - Sept. 13
Following a viral social media post by former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon warning of AI's potential to cause human extinction, leading AI chief executives Dario Amodei of Anthropic and Sam Altman of OpenAI publicly agreed on the need to slow AI development. Tech mogul Elon Musk also concurred, as did former President Obama, who urged prioritizing AI controls. President Trump also weighed in, but suggested that some forces are amplifying negative aspects of AI that shouldn't be.
The public agreement among major AI leaders and political figures to slow development marks a significant shift in the discourse around AI, signaling potential future regulations or coordinated efforts to mitigate existential risks and manage the technology's rapid advancement, especially in the context of international competition with countries like China.
The episode also covers flash floods and water rescues, escalating fighting in the Middle East leading to rising fuel prices, and incidents of severe turbulence and unruly passengers on commercial flights.
