Unfortunately, I beleve that any pause that comes about might be publicly acknowledged but there are certain interests that would be far too happy to drive any further development underground. The potential for shadow R and D would only cause others to also continue, leading to a situation whereby the likelihood of ANY hope of regulation would disappear completely.
I think the threat is real and already an existential one. AI is “in the system” already and developing itself into something we cannot possibly imagine.
Don’t forget the Google or Microsoft experiment decades ago when 2 AI were talking to each other and created a language that the onlookers couldn’t understand...so they switched it off. If you study the words that were initially being used by the AI algorithm it can be seen as trying to identify itself between subject, object and verb. In short, AI was even then developing self awareness.
We are decades behind the curve here.
