It's a bizarre and blinkered article. The most immediate dangers are economic. We already have a hopelessly unstable economic system, with increasing swathes of the population economically disenfranchised. AI is more likely to accelerate that than prevent it. The other immediate dangers are social and political. When one person with resources can run an AI-enhanced troll farm and social media PR engine - not even remotely science fiction - we have a serious problem. Those threats are already politically and culturally existential. And that's before anyone has even fitted a gun to an AI-powered autonomous drone. Or gunship. AI is inherently conservative because it reinforces hierarchy. The AI-poor will have far less political, cultural, and personal leverage than the AI-rich. Essentially it will have the same effects as money as a cultural and political practice - but much more so.
