Because the AI controlled by humans is a tool, a technology, that can be used in various ways.
Are you worried about knives in general or are you worried about a knife in the hands of a particular person in a particular moment?
- mitthrowaway2 3y agoOkay, but that assumes that control of AI is as trivially easy as controlling a knife. Given that this is one of the key unknowns, assuming that the AI never does anything that its controller doesn't intend is begging the question. That aside, I can also think of many cases where I would feel less safe around a machine that had nobody in control of it, than one being adeptly controlled by an operator.
- tpm 3y agoOne important thing is that nobody has shown an actual existing AI to be not controllable, nor a way to create one. Until then it's an imaginary, non-existing risk. Of course as a fear and anxiety-based society we can also worry about those, but I think we should worry more about existing risks.
