Thanks Wei! I agree that improving institutions is generally very hard. In a slow takeoff scenario, there would be a new path to improving institutions using powerful (but not fully general) AI, but it’s unclear how well we could expect that to work given the generally low priors.
The covid response was a minor update for me in terms of AI risk assessment—it was mildly surprising given my existing sense of institutional competence.
