pinkor 倡导务实的 AI 安全工程，反对末日式恐慌
哈佛心理学家 steven pinker 认为末日式 ai 场景是夸张的，倡导安全工程。这挑战了 scott alexander 的 20% 风险评估。
harvard psychologist steven pinker argues that fears of ai wiping out humanity are exaggerated, citing examples like the paperclip maximizer as unrealistic. he instead focuses on real dangers such as bioterrorism, cyberattacks, and unchecked ai agents. pinker advocates for sober safety engineering through independent oversight, liability, and human control. this stance contrasts with scott alexander's, who estimates a 20% chance of ai causing human extinction and calls for better safety research and international agreements to slow ai development. pinker's views are part of a broader debate on ai safety and risk assessment.
