StevenFeldsteinsuggests in his article for The Bulletin that just asglobal leaders reached agreement after-World War II to create guardrails ofbehavior through the Geneva Conventions, international leaders should undertakea similar effort for AI technologies. Reports suggest that 90 percent of hitsin the Gaza conflict are due to AI-generated recommendations.
