"As increasingly capable artificial intelligence (AI) systems become
widespread, the question of the risks they may pose has taken on new urgency.
Governments, researchers and developers have highlighted AI safety.
The EU is moving on AI regulation, the UK is convening an AI safety summit, and
Australia is seeking input on supporting safe and responsible AI.
The current wave of interest is an opportunity to address concrete AI safety
issues like bias, misuse and labour exploitation. But many in Silicon Valley
view safety through the speculative lens of “AI alignment”, which misses out on
the very real harms current AI systems can do to society – and the pragmatic
ways we can address them."
