Steven Pinker criticizes doomsday rhetoric about AI, calls for practical safety engineering

In an open letter on Quillette, psychologist Steven Pinker rejects scenarios of human extinction caused by AI and instead calls for safety engineering with independent oversight, responsibility, and human control.

What you get out of it

The debate shows that even respected experts differ in their estimates of AI risks (Pinker vs. the 20 % estimate from Alexander), so when forming your own judgment about AI safety, it is advisable to consider multiple schools of thought rather than a single authority.
