Personally, I feel it might become a risk one day, but how soon is an important detail. If the threat is still far away, its nature is very blurry and there is no use to worry too much about it today (or advocate for a ban on AI research).
There are still many safe intermediary steps we have to go through before the threat concretizes and becomes worth worrying about.
- ethanbond 4y agoThese are definitely important considerations, but it’s not clear 1) we’ll see those intermediary steps, or 2) we’ll be able to stop at them. In reality we’ve already blown through many red lines e.g. not connecting AI to the open internet, not connecting it to physical systems. We didn’t even blink! Agreed a ban on AI research is unworkable, which is part of why this threat is so insidious.
