Dramatic insider warnings over AI fall flat with some in Silicon Valley
A wave of serious warnings from insiders about the risks of AI has not landed as intended, with many executives and investors in Silicon Valley pushing back or dismissing the concerns.
Why this matters: When the people building AI warn about its dangers, that is usually news. When those warnings get shrugged off by the people funding it, that is a different kind of news. Scepticism from executives and investors is not automatically wrong. But it does mean that the main check on how fast and how recklessly AI gets deployed is not working very well. The people with the most to gain financially are also the ones deciding how seriously to take the risks.
