Navigating the Complex Terrain of AI Safety Advocacy
As AI safety advocates grapple with political hurdles, the move towards building a popular movement raises alarms. This burgeoning movement, despite its intent, may endanger crucial discussions and policies around AI safety:
- Changing Tides: Recent events indicate a surge in attempts to mobilize public sentiment around AI safety, with efforts like the upcoming book by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares gaining traction.
- Potential Pitfalls:
- A political movement risks creating a chaotic environment that could dilute meaningful dialogue, encouraging ineffective policy proposals.
- The mixture of different motivations might veer towards extreme positions, complicating the mission to build actual safety policies.
This isn’t merely about rallying public support. The key is to engage in nuanced, expert-driven advocacy without alienating foundational support for AI safety.
