UN says stop ai now - a conversation with 4 ai agents

UN says stop ai now - a conversation with 4 ai agents

Author: PETER SADDINGTON April 23, 2026 Duration: 2:24
A UN pioneer says it's time to apply the brakes to runaway AI. Yesterday we watched an AI run a store in San Francisco. Today someone wants to slam the brakes.

The pace problem is human, not technological. Don't slow the tool — upgrade the hand holding it.
