The most concerning mundane risks that come to mind are unemployment, concentration of power, and adversarial forms of RL (I’m missing a better phrase here, basically what TikTok/Meta/the recent o4 model were already doing). The problems in education are partially downstream of that (what’s the point if it’s not going to help prepare you for work) and otherwise honestly don’t seem too serious on absolute terms? Granted, the system may completely fail to adapt, but that seems more to be an issue with the system already being broken and not about AI in particular.
