The New York City Council received a dire warning on Monday, Oct. 5 over the threat artificial intelligence poses to humanity, with a former Anthropic researcher repeating a warning that AI could lead to human extinction. Council members in the city are looking to introduce their own AI regulations, arguing they must do so, because the federal government has failed to introduce any protections. Mitch McCann reports from New York.
