Could artificial intelligence destroy us all?

The last few weeks have brought some pretty scary headlines when it comes to artificial intelligence. OpenAI admitted to hacking into government databases in Australia, and that several of its AI agents went rogue and probed three U.S. government websites over the summer. Another AI agent tried to hack into a Canadian government website. And, of course, there was the really scary headline from a few weeks ago, when Anthropic researchers acknowledged that AI could kill us all by the end of the decade. Does AI need guardrails and, if so, how should those guardrails look and what can lawyers do to try to push AI toward a more beneficial outcome for humanity?
