These guys are literally the last people in the world I would trust to regulate themselves responsibily.
This is true for corporations in general. They’re organized to maximize profits, unless regulated. Even if you’re pro-business, you’ll know that statement as true. Without realizing it, we’re currently in an Oppenheimer-like arms race with various state sponsored interests including tech corporations.
The biggest risks I see with AI are making misinfomation, scams etc. a lot easier.
I remember as a kid you knew that people could just make stuff up, but a photograph was fairly reliable. Then along came Photoshop and it was trivial to make convincing fake photographs.
AI is able to do this with audio, soon with full video (perhaps already?) - so then it becomes much harder to trust anything.
