AI is not going to become self aware and destroy the world.
AI is going to cause something like the industrial revolution of the 19th century: massive changes in who is rich, massive changes in the labor market, massive changes in how people make war, etc.
It’s already started really.
What worries me most is that as long as society is capitalist, AI will be used to optimize for self-enrichment, likely causing an even greater concentration of capital than what we have today.
I wouldn’t be surprised that the outcome is a new kind of aristocracy, where society is divided between those who have access to Ai and those who don’t.
And that I don’t think falls into the “Ai safety” field. Especially since OpenAi is Vc-backed
