It appears that AI existential risk is starting to penetrate consciousness of general public in a ‘its not just hyperbole’ way.
There will inevitably be a lot of attention seeking influencers (not a bad thing in this case) who will pick up the ball and run with it now, and I predict the real-life Butlerian Jihad will rival the Climate Change movement in size and influence within 5 years as it has all the attributes of a cause that presents commercial opportunity to the unholy trinity of media, politicians and academia that have demonstrated an ability to profit from other scares. Not to mention vast hoards of people fearful of losing their careers.
I expect that AI will indeed become highly regulated in next few years in the west at least. Remains to be seen what will happen with regards to non-democratic nations.
