Although I consider AI risks more significant than everything else combined, you do have a point. The danger isn't communicated well and on top of that, nobody has a good defensive plan (IMHO).
That means attacking the problem directly isn't an effective approach. Especially if it creates AI-risk fatigue.
- chriswarbo 9y agoAgreed. The immediate action we should be taking to mitigate AGI risk is basically identical to the immediate action we should already be taking to research, regulate, hold-accountable, etc. existing dumb-AI systems (e.g. autonomous/remote-control killing machines, black-box oracles being used for medical diagnoses/credit/etc., economic impacts w.r.t. increasing inequality, "taking our jobs", etc.). Even Barack Obama has said as much, so I think all of the sky-is-falling social media buzz is just a hindrance. We should absolutely be funding blue-sky research into mitigating, predicting, controlling, etc. AGIs if/when they're developed. But we are doing that (e.g. intelligence.org ) so, again, the doomsday prophets aren't contributing anything.
