„Decalajul Azazel”. Avertismentul BNR privind riscul ca inteligența artificială să scape de sub control • Newsweek România

Leonardo Badea, the BNR's first vice-governor, introduces the concept of "Azazel Gap," highlighting the rapid advancement of AI technology outpacing regulatory frameworks. He draws parallels to the biblical figure Azazel, warning of the dangers posed by unregulated technological growth. The disparity between technological capabilities and organizational maturity could lead to systemic vulnerabilities. Without proper governance, technological shocks may disrupt the global economy. While AI investments can drive economic growth, they also require significant public funding. The EU's AI Act is a step towards risk assessment, but effective risk management culture in tech companies is essential. Simulations indicate that aggressive AI investment without governance increases the likelihood of severe technological incidents. Ultimately, balancing innovation with risk management is crucial for societal progress.
