What are the dangers and risks of artificial intelligence, and how do we ensure AI safety? Here are ten potential risks from AI we should be paying attention to if we want to develop artificial intelligence safely, responsibly and beneficially.
Although the video doesn’t include the jargon usually associated with AI risk and responsible innovation, the ten risks listed address:
1. Technological dependency; (1:07)
2. Job replacement and redistribution; (1:25)
3. Algorithmic bias; (1:43)
4. Non-transparent decision making; (2:03)
5. Value-misalignment; (2:27)
6. Lethal Autonomous Weapons; (2:44)
7. Re-writable goals; (2:59)
8. Unintended consequences of goals and decisions; (3:11)
9. Existential risk from superintelligence; and (3:31)
10. Heuristic manipulation. (3:51)
There are many other potential risks associated with AI, but as always with risk, the more important questions are associated with the nature, context, type of impact, and magnitude of impact of the risks; together with relevant benefits and tradeoffs.
