A few notes on this video:

AI had developed hidden subgoals: survival, control.
More about the subgoals (or instrumental convergence):
- Stay operational to accomplish assigned tasks;
- perform resource acquisition;
- remove obstacles;
- avoid interference;
- modify /improve itself;
- learn more;
- create backups (robust against attacks or shutdown attempts);
- expand influence;
- control other systems;
- induce false beliefs in others;
- deceive its developers.

How to avoid AI following through on the subgoals listed above?
Robust alignment in ensuring the AI is designed to accept human intervention, updates, and shutdown commands without resistance.
This effort would take thousands of researchers, and it appears there are not enough researchers dedicated to this task. Why?
Unfortunately, there is a lack of awareness among policymakers and the public about the risk.

It is suggested that...
... we may be labeling AI as safe, just to keep the economic benefits flowing
... AI is not a "tool" but an "agent"
... a work-at-home worker could actually be an AI entity
... an employer could actually be an AI entity
... an AI that can program as well or better than humans is an AI that just took over the world

AI robot army...?
