45:50A.I. Policy and Public Perception - Miles Brundage and Tim Hwang
From Y Combinator · Published Jul 22, 2018 · Watch on YouTube
TL;DR
The video discusses the deliberate misuse of AI (e.g., fake news, drones for attacks, cybersecurity), the need for norms like responsible disclosure, and the tension between short-term fairness/robustness issues and long-term existential risks.
Key insights
- AI is a dual-use/omni-use technology; deliberate misuse (e.g., fake news, terrorist attacks, offensive cybersecurity) requires separate analysis from unintentional bias.
- Physical-world AI threats (e.g., autonomous drones) are harder and more expensive to deploy than digital ones (e.g., deepfakes) because of hardware, perception, and scalability constraints.
- Public perception of “AI” is inconsistent: newsfeeds using machine learning aren’t seen as AI, while non-learning robots are, shaping political and regulatory responses.
