(Policymakers) We have a good idea of what make bridges safe, through physics, materials science and rigorous testing. We can anticipate the conditions they’ll operate in.
The very point of powerful AI systems is to operate in complex environments better than we can anticipate. Computer science can offer no guarantees if we don’t even know what to check. Safety measures aren’t catching up quickly enough.
We are somehow tolerating the mistakes of current AI systems. Nothing’s ready for the next scale-up.
