The head of the International Monetary Fund has called for urgent guardrails to manage risks from the AI boom, comparing it to a Formula 1 car that could go off track. Speaking on a panel, Kristalina Georgieva emphasized the importance of regulation to prevent potential harm. Jack Clark, co-founder of Anthropic, echoed these concerns, noting that toys are more regulated than AI. He stressed the need for policy frameworks to control AI development.

Georgieva highlighted the need for access to electricity and digital networks to maximize AI's benefits.
