Most people/policymakers e.g. have no idea that AI developers don’t really understand their systems. They also have no idea about what scientists or the AI company CEOs think or say or what the current models can do.
The average model of AI might be something like this: AIs are hallucinating a lot, are programmed like a normal program which people perfectly understand, can be controlled, didn’t get much better the last few years.
Even AI savvy people aren’t a united front on how high the risks of loss of control are. If alignment isn’t all that hard then decentralised, open AI is actually better over the risk of AI driven authoritarianism.
