My concern isn't with "rogue AI that humans lose control of and it's Judgement Day" ... it's the opposite: "AIs" that certain humans have full control of, and use as a tool for automated manipulation, deception, destruction, and control.

These machine learning systems replicate and automate existing market & organizational logic. The fear I have with them is the ruthless effectiveness they can have in the hands of profit and control motivated actors.

Think Russian propaganda "bots" are bad now? Just wait.

Again, my fear is not rogue AI, it's rogue humans.. with AIs.



I’m surprised how much people worry about Russia.

Then point Yoshua is making that we need need have disincentives for things like “Russia” (the rogue state) to exist.

Like living in a more fair world where living and protecting life is the default thing to want to do.

All this division as our tech becomes more powerful will for sure lead to destruction.
