The rate of growth still seems to be the biggest threat to alignment of AI with humans. We have plenty of evidence as to the rate humans adapt and safely manage new technology. So it is quite clear we won’t adapt fast enough. The other context I learned is that China, and other advanced countries, have been developing similar AI. So the national security concern is certainly real. This fact will prevent any slowing of the rate at which we as a country advance our AI capabilities. Ready, fire, aim.

The rapid growth of AI technology indeed poses a significant challenge to achieving alignment between human values and AI systems. While humans have a history of adapting to new technologies, the speed of AI development could outpace our ability to manage its consequences effectively. The geopolitical context, with countries like China and other advanced nations investing heavily in AI, further exacerbates the situation as nations prioritize strategic advantages over careful deliberation. This competitive landscape may undermine efforts to ensure safe AI development and deployment, emphasizing the need for international collaboration and regulation to minimize risks and promote responsible innovation.
