Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper looks at the recent buzz around making artificial intelligence (AI) safer. Right now, most people talking about AI safety are governments and big companies. The authors think about what “safety” really means for AI and find that it’s closely tied to other ideas like being open and honest. They worry that this focus on safety might not help society as much as we want, and that it could even make things worse by giving a good reputation to AI systems that are actually bad news.
