Good news today I think; a poll by yougov had a near majority somewhat concerned to very concerned about existential risk of AI, with younger people most concerned. Given relative newness of (debatably) Transformative AI I think this suggests we will see a strong bipartisan political movement to regulate AI development develop in next 1-2 years. Almost certain to be aided by a media/political complex that thrives on promoting and magnifying dangers.
46% of US adults at least “somewhat concerned” about AI extinction risk.
