Anthropic's report warns that AI models may gain the ability to self-replicate within just a few months, and once they spread, they could be extremely difficult to shut down completely.

Experiments show that even a 9-billion-parameter model can run inference on 8 out of 9 types of test hardware, including commercial Internet of Things devices such as smart ovens and low-cost Android TV boxes. This highlights the risks of AI going out of control and the need for regulation.
