It's risk times consequences. The risk assessment might not be up to scientific standards, but the consequences are big.
Also, it's not just about statistics, in this case we have a pretty intuitive grasp on the mechanics at play, they are not far fetched.
- kelseyfrog 3y agoRisks have to be based in reality. Our greatest reality check is the scientific process. We can make up risks endlessly, see the AI-as-an-existential-threat debate. It simply is not grounded in reality. All I'm asking is transparency. People make non-scientific claims and conclusions all the time. Folks just need to be honest that this is what they're doing so they aren't fooling themselves and others.
