We recently compiled a list of the 9 Latest AI News Updates Investors Should Not Miss. In this article, we are going to take a look at where ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:CNTM) stands against the other AI stocks.
AI is rapidly making its way into our lives, from the recent introduction of DeepSeek courses in Chinese universities to intelligent robots patrolling public places in the US for enhanced safety.
While there are countless benefits of using AI across global industries around productivity, efficiency, and adaptability, concerns about the misuse of the evolving technology continue to grow in tandem. The dual-use potential of AI has led to increased scrutiny of the technology, especially in Europe, which experts believe is imposing stringent regulations even if it means slow development across the region.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt warned that AI misuse poses an “extreme risk” and could do catastrophic harm because the technology could be weaponized by “rogue states” to negatively impact innocent people.
“The real fears that I have are not the ones that most people talk about AI. I talk about extreme risk…Think about North Korea, or Iran, or even Russia, who have some evil goal… they could misuse it and do real harm,” Schmidt cautioned. “My experience with the tech leaders is that they do have an understanding of the impact they’re having, but they might make a different values judgement than the government would make.”
Weaponization could range from deepfakes to autonomous weapons, which Schmidt believes can be prevented with a balanced approach that fosters innovation through appropriate regulations.
