If you work at Google DeepMind, or OpenAI, or Facebook AI, or Baidu, you may be at the cutting edge of AI research. Plus, your employer has the resources to scale up the systems you build, and to make sure they impact the lives of millions (or billions) of people. Any error in the AI’s behavior, any bias in its training data, any human desideratum lost in optimization, will get magnified by millions or billions. You, personally, are in the best position to prevent this. (Machine learning researchers)
