And being developed within the bureaucratic labyrinths of a federal organization ensures that there will be many things wrong with it, things about which no one will know (and so cannot suggest fixing) because it all will be very very secret.
Well if Microsoft develops AI first, won’t there be a similar problem?
I would have to disagree. For one thing, if a corporation like Microsoft (or perhaps Google) develops AI, it seems pretty likely that it will be done in secret, if only to prevent competitors from gaining an advantage. Even if the existence of the project is known, the actual details will probably be secret. For another, it seems like it would be difficult for the public to provide meaningful feedback in such a situation.
