I think narrow domain might be one of the most important properties. An AI that is very good at designing drugs and nothing else is much safer than an AGI; it doesn’t understand itself or the world at large and can’t go on a self improvement rampage. It still has risks but they’re ordinary “don’t let a radical political terrorist in a BSL4 lab” kinda risks.
