The pendulum swung because of corporate pressure and their ability to take over the political dimension.
But I would say since then, things have been moving back again.
So I'm feeling a bit more optimistic than I did in February.
You know, we have a
global movement now.
There's an international association for safe and ethical AI, which has several thousand members and more than 120 organizations in dozens of countries are affiliates of this global organization.
So I'm thinking that if we can, in particular, if we can activate public opinion
which works through the media and through popular culture, then we have a chance.
Yeah, I think it's bizarre to be accused of being anti-AI, to be called a Luddite.
You know, as I said, when I wrote the book from which almost everyone learns about AI.
And, you know, if you called a nuclear engineer who works on the safety of nuclear power plants, would you call him anti-physics?
It's bizarre.
We're not anti-AI.
In fact, the need for safety in AI is a compliment to AI.
If AI was useless and stupid, we wouldn't be worried about its safety.
It's only because it's becoming more capable that we have to be concerned about safety.
So I don't see this as anti-AI at all.
In fact, I would say without safety, there will be no AI.
There is no future with human beings where we have unsafe AI.
So it's either no AI or safe AI.
