People won't invest in a broken system. If you're worried about AI alignment, what you're actually concerned with is accountability. You want to discourage people from building bad systems - so do it. Make people liable for implementing AI in situations where it can cost human lives. Vague premonitions of "alignment" don't really bolster an otherwise baseless argument. You'd be better off appealing to my fear of humans than my fear of machines.
When someone gets run over by a steamroller, we don't call it a 'steamroller alignment issue'. It is a matter of human liability, either conscious or subconscious. Wielding superhuman power is not new, nor is dealing with it's liabilities.

By advanced AI, I mean, roughly speaking, AI systems capable of performing almost all cognitive work humans perform (e.g., able to substitute for scientists, CEOs, novelists, and so on).
Could you point me to a resource that explains how an AGI could substitute for these experts without having emotions, intuition, creative insight or imagination or is that part of AGI? I want to know how these qualities are mimicked. Or does AGI just replace the average person in those feelings who may lack talent? Thanks.
