Statement on AI Risk

I think between point 3 and 4 there is a leap to talking about “danger”. Perhaps the disagreement is about what one calls “danger”. I had perhaps mistakenly assumed we were talking about an extinction risk. I’ll grant you concerns about scaling up things like surveillance but there is a leap to being an existential risk that I’m still not following.

AI will not have instinctual drives for domination or hunger.

It seems likely that the majority of AI projects will be reasonably well aligned, so I think 1000 AIs monitoring what the others are doing is a lot safer than a single global consortium megaproject that humans can possibly only inadequately control.

The only reasonable defense against rogue AI is prosocial AI.

The default assumption ought to be that anything that's very fast, very smart, goal-directed, self-improving, and self-replicating spells trouble, no?
