The former CEO of Google says the U.S. should not create its own Manhattan Project for AI, because such a project would invite retaliation from adversaries.

An AI that surpasses humans in virtually every intellectual domain “would amount to the most precarious technological development since the nuclear bomb,” the paper says. Like the atomic scientists of the Manhattan Project, today’s AI leaders are urging policymakers to plan for worst-case scenarios before potential catastrophe.
