Haugen on the proposed risks of AI systems

“I think one of the major things we need to look at in terms of the risks of these AI systems is there are short-term, high probability harms. And there are longer-term, potentially higher magnitude harms, but with ambiguous probabilities … We need to not sit in paralyzed fear. We need to be acting to make sure we put in place incentives that encourage positive uses of these technology. And decrease the chance that these major problems, like labor force displacement, happen in the short-term." - Frances Haugen
