AI experts are increasingly afraid of what they’re creating
AI gets smarter, more capable, and more world-transforming every day. Here’s why that might not be a good thing.

“In a summer 2022 survey of machine learning researchers, the median respondent thought that AI was more likely to be good than bad but had a genuine risk of being catastrophic. Forty-eight percent of respondents said they thought there was a 10 percent or greater chance that the effects of AI would be “extremely bad (e.g., human extinction).”
Ouch.
This is concerning. No question.
And I put this in our foreign policy category because this is an international issue. Tech is a major industry and countries want their companies to be successful. And they don’t want their companies to be hamstrung by “unnecessary” regulations.
