You know some of the people actively dismissing them ARE ai researchers? I'd put the ratio 10 to 1 in their favor from meetings and that most of the people panicking are administrator types who over estimate and need to hawk for money. Their is a stink of ignorance from Bengio and Hinton over what threats are already on the table. They seemed to have blissfully ignored them for their careers. It shows up in their proposed solutions/fears. It's like bengio complaining about computer science needing ethics as a solution. I did take ethics and I still find his arguments wrong. I would argue that he is overestimating risk and panicking, which will create more damage than good. No, he's just trying to claim some mantel of authority by saying he's the only moral one in the room and castigate his opposition unfairly. In the parlance of his climate change example, he's al Gore claiming that the world sea levels will rise by 20 feet soon, thereby giving ammo to every climate change denier and turning off anyone who needs convincing.
