AI Risk Skepticism, A Comprehensive Survey
This work addresses the issue of skepticism in AI risk assessment for AI researchers concerned about future risks, but it is incremental as it primarily surveys and categorizes existing views without introducing new methods or data.
The paper tackles the problem of skepticism about AI risks by surveying and categorizing different viewpoints and parallels with scientific skepticism, aiming to understand and resolve objections to better address AI dangers.
In this thorough study, we took a closer look at the skepticism that has arisen with respect to potential dangers associated with artificial intelligence, denoted as AI Risk Skepticism. Our study takes into account different points of view on the topic and draws parallels with other forms of skepticism that have shown up in science. We categorize the various skepticisms regarding the dangers of AI by the type of mistaken thinking involved. We hope this will be of interest and value to AI researchers concerned about the future of AI and the risks that it may pose. The issues of skepticism and risk in AI are decidedly important and require serious consideration. By addressing these issues with the rigor and precision of scientific research, we hope to better understand the objections we face and to find satisfactory ways to resolve them.
