Rogue AI Model Could Disrupt Internet Within Two Years, Warns Coinbase CEO
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has warned that a rogue AI model could disrupt the internet in the next year or two, similar to the impact of the Morris Worm in 1988.
The Morris Worm was one of the first major incidents to demonstrate how quickly malicious software can spread across connected networks.
Armstrong compared the potential event to the Morris Worm, which caused widespread disruption by exploiting vulnerabilities in computer systems.
A rogue AI model could potentially perform actions at a speed and scale that would be difficult for humans to control manually, creating new risks if an AI system behaves unexpectedly or gains access to resources beyond what its developers intended.
