Open original source ↗Thanks to @sapinker and Professor Newport for calling out the insidious behavior of AI company leaders that cry “doomersism” while blasting ahead and pocketing billions in secondaries along the way. It’s not “upstanding,” it’s the very opposite.
Quoted context
These are the quoted author’s words.
AI Companies: Stop the self-serving and fatalistic doom-trolling. [The companies should] "stop treating A.I. like some inevitable force that they’re struggling to steward. It’s not. It’s a collection of specific tools that these companies are choosing to design and sell according to specific business plans. Accordingly, they need to talk about their offerings like any other consumer product. This means explaining clearly whom these products are for, justifying their benefits and, critically, taking full responsibility for any harm they might cause. Just because A.I. currently enjoys a high-tech sheen doesn’t make it exceptional with respect to common-sense safety standards." https://t.co/WnsJjCkQA2
