Artificial intelligence is reshaping the world at remarkable speed.

As breakthroughs continue to emerge across industries and societies, a parallel effort is underway to build rules, cooperation and trust that can ensure the technology develops responsibly and benefits more people.

The rapid evolution of AI has also intensified global discussions over how to balance innovation with safety.

Dario Amodei, CEO of AI company Anthropic, recently warned that advanced AI could bring serious risks and argued that more time should be given for safety measures to catch up with technological progress.

His remarks have sparked debate within the global AI community.

Concerns over the potential risks of new technologies are not new.

Throughout history, major technological advances have rarely been halted because of possible misuse.

Instead, societies have sought ways to manage challenges through better regulation, responsible application and international cooperation.

The same principle applies to artificial intelligence.

Technology itself does not determine the direction of human development.

The choices made by its creators, users and policymakers will shape how AI affects society.
