Samuel Buteau: The difference between AI chatbots and runaway machine intelligence
According to the description, ControlAI's Samuel Buteau told a Canadian House of Commons subcommittee that AI agents differ from chatbots, citing the OpenAI swarm that attacked Hugging Face as an example, and recommended an international trust-but-verify ban on runaway machine intelligence.

For researchers
