If not and things go wrong, you deserve to lose power: As Stuart Russell, a professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley said just the other day to a small audience including some U.K. lawmakers. “There's a significant chance of a Chernobyl-sized catastrophe” due to AI, he told them, “such as a coordinated sabotage of financial systems, communication systems, or electrical grids, that directly or indirectly would cost millions of lives and cause the economic collapse of many countries.” He characterized this grim possibility as a best-case scenario if AI development were to continue without government regulation. “The other possibility is a much larger catastrophe in which humanity loses control irreversibly, and we have no say over whether we continue to exist,” he said. “The third option, that things magically go well, is not realistic.” People need to let their governments know we will hold them to account on keeping us safe in this space. Its our job.
