Many people call the future threat “artificial general
intelligence,” but all three words there are misleading when trying
to understand risks.
AI may radically accelerate technology development. That might
be extremely good or extremely bad. There are currently no good
explanations for how either would happen, so it’s hard to predict
which, or when, or whether. The understanding necessary to guide
the future to a good outcome may depend more on uncovering causes
of technological progress than on reasoning about AI.
