Loss of control

"‘Loss of control’ scenarios are hypothetical future scenarios in which one or more general- purpose AI systems come to operate outside of anyone’s control, with no clear path to regaining control. These scenarios vary in their severity, but some experts give credence to outcomes as severe as the marginalisation or extinction of humanity."
