To the degree that digital systems have agency in the physical world, it is agency that we — we humans with arms and legs and brains and parents and children — permit: AI executes on physical systems that have been engineered with human accountability and control. Intelligence does not exempt a system from the realities of the physical world!
All agens en AI-agent kan få i den fysiska världen är vad vi väljer att ge den.
That said, we should not expect the public to understand LLMs, critical infrastructure, bioweapons, extinction biology, etc. — that burden must lie with those making the claim. The lesson that I learned (shamefully) decades ago is that domain experts, by way of their expertise, implicitly hold the public’s trust — and we must not abuse it. It is incumbent upon us to be circumspect in our claims — and maximally so when raising the alarm.
Den som från en expertposition hävdar att AI kommer att utrota mänskligheten behöver också komma med en förklaring av hur det skulle gå till.
