“It is impossible to stop research in the field of genetics, just as it was impossible to stop the use of gunpowder in the past, but the sooner we understand that the threat comes from the uncontrolled development of AI, genetics or any other field, it will be time to reach an international agreement to regulate these things,” – he added.
