Reports circulating online claim leading artificial intelligence companies are privately running scenario exercises for a public and political revolt following a catastrophic AI-related event, most likely a cyberattack that disrupts financial services, internet access, or power and water supplies. The claim draws a comparison with the Defense Department's decades of war-gaming, saying many top AI firms are now doing similar internal planning.
Why now: Claims that AI firms are quietly preparing for a societal backlash after a major AI disaster touch public fears about cyberattacks and loss of essential services.
