I have no doubt that many good things can come from AI, but what about the existential risk posed by the alignment problem? Why shouldn't I be worried?

Dear Steven, I agree with you that AI is not likely to want to subdue humans. But might AI not be dangerous in another way? Might AI not become the most dangerous type of weapon for human beings who do want to subdue their fellow human beings?

Given how AI has so far been weaponized in cyberspace, and how FB, Twitter, and Youtube AIs were so effective in keeping users engaged but doing so in ways disastrous to democracy, I'd say we're off to a pretty bad start.

No. Not while its effects are the computing equivalent of blunt force trauma.

It's not that AI stands to do no harm, but it stands to do much more good. Furthermore, the sci-fi-esque fearmongering about a singularity or terminator robot distracts from the more legitimate: privacy and the inference of sensitive information.
-
While private information like religion, political orientation, and sexuality are not usually a recorded datapoint, machine learning (AI) is getting increasingly good at inferring that kind information from the data. It would be trivial to do for a big social network, for example

I feel like every time you share or write one of these articles, you are demonstrating a lack of understanding and an unwillingness to engage with this topic honestly. Do you really think the AI worriers are not aware of the huge potential benefits of AI?
-
To my knowledge, noone thinks the "doomsday" scenario is by any means a certainty. But it seems as if you are suggesting the "harm-free utopia" scenario IS a certainty. The latter view is more poorly reasoned. Advocate for cautious optimism, not reckless optimism.
-
I think your vested interests in the thesis of Enlightenment Now lead you to misconstrue their cautioning as pessimism. Due to your bias towards pessimism, you then oppose such caution, which I believe is catastrophically misguided.

Should we not be discussing UBI or other factors to negate a possible jobless and future for many? There are already and will be many awesome things created by AI.

One solution is to train AIs all about the goodness in life, e.i., the preservation and value of all life forms, strong or weak. Second, the frontline AI research must be in the hands of democratic people.

Either way: The trend with the age of digital computers has generally been that increasingly fewer people control the options and opportunities of increasingly greater numbers of people...

It's like with nuclear fission. The science was neutral. It was humans who decided/are deciding whether to use the technology for creating energy or for killing people...

Yes but AI has a very long way to go.

I’m a huge fan of

That’s like conflating all immigration, legal and illegal. The concern raised by people like Sam Harris is strong AI- superhuman, Godlike intelligence. Not a toaster that uses fuzzy logic.
