Well, I guess I'm more worried about a human waking up and saying, I want to do something bad today.
And so what could that be?
Well, misinformation, we've seen a lot of that.
And I think it's mixed of how big an effect AI will have on that.
I mean, it's already pretty easy to go out and hire somebody to create fake news and promulgate it.
And the hard part really is getting it to be popular, not to create it in the first place.
So in some sense, maybe AI doesn't make that much difference.
It's still just as hard to get it out.
And maybe I can fight against that misinformation.
So I think the jury is still out on that.
But if you did get to the point where an AI could create new enough about an individual user to say, I'm going to create the fake news that's going to be effective specifically for you, that would be really worrying.
And we're not there yet, but that's something to worry about.
I worry about the future of warfare.
So you're seeing these things today.
We just saw a tiny little personal-size drone shot down a Russian helicopter.
So we've had half a century or so of mostly a stalemate of saying the big countries have the power to impose themselves on the others, but...
None of them are really going to unilaterally do it on a large way, and we have smaller regional conflicts.
Now we may be transitioning into a world where we say the power is not just in the big countries.
It's in lots of smaller groups.
And that becomes a more volatile situation.
