Sure, but within AI, intelligence is the main feature that we’re trying very hard to increase in our systems that would plausibly let the systems we build outcompete us. We aren’t trying to make AI systems that replicate as fast as possible. So it seems like the main thing to be worried about is intelligence.
Blaise Agüera y Arcas gave a keynote at this NeurIPS pushing ALife (motivated by specification problems, weirdly enough...: https://neurips.cc/Conferences/2019/Schedule?showEvent=15487).
The talk recording: https://slideslive.com/38921748/social-intelligence. I recommend it.
