AI? What could go wrong?

(I'm kidding)

(Edit to add something useful) It's crazy to me that this is happening and most people think either "students will cheat" or "some people will lose their jobs" are the big issues.

But the problem is that any legislation will only stop the good actors. Private interests can just take development overseas and nothing's going to stop militaries from weaponizing AI. Thus legislation will stop public institutions and everybody else will develop their models in secret or elsewhere. There's really no way to stop it, so a better plan is to adapt and move fast with benign systems.

I say all that not really being an expert!

Interesting take, thanks for sharing. Please could you explain what you mean by "benign systems"?

I agree such that the issues most commonly publicised by MSM are minor compared to some more evil potential ab(use) cases.

By "benign systems" I mean ML models + how they're embedded to = cancel the apocalypse.

I don't think an AI system can be understood as benign or dangerous without analyzing how they are embedded within other systems.
