## Resource

Top AI developers are urgently warning governments that the technology they’re building could spiral out of control—capable of triggering cyberattacks, bioweapons, or rogue autonomous weapons. With no company willing to slow down for fear of losing competitive edge, the call is clear: we need external regulation now. Experts at MIT predict a greater than 10% chance of catastrophic AI-driven events within five years—potentially causing over a million deaths or $100 billion in damage. The speed and scale of AI’s evolution make these risks hard to grasp, feeding into dangerous “normalcy bias” that leaves us vulnerable to manipulation. Change may only come after real-world disasters force public action—a terrifyingly delayed response in a race against time.
