Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb said in a post on X that humanity has faced many dangers throughout history, including tiger attacks, the Black Death, smallpox, famine, earthquakes and war, and that these threats did not disappear on their own. He said people addressed them over time through tools and systems such as vaccines, sewer construction, alliances and earth science research.
Based on that comparison, Haseeb argued that past success in dealing with major risks should not lead people to assume that AI risk will fade away by itself. He said AI will not make itself safe, and that humans must actually solve AI safety issues while retaining control over AI.
He added that society may soon hand over nearly all critical control functions to AI. In his view, that makes it necessary to ensure that humans still hold control when that moment arrives.
Odaily reported that Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb said in a post on X that humanity has faced a wide range of risks throughout history, including tiger attacks, the Black Death, smallpox, famine, earthquakes and war, and that none of those problems disappeared on their own.
He said those threats were addressed over time through measures such as vaccines, sewer construction, alliances and research in earth science.
He says AI safety must be solved, not assumed
Haseeb said past examples of humans dealing with major risks should not be taken to mean that AI risk will also go away by itself. He wrote that AI will not become safe on its own, and that humans must actually solve AI safety problems and maintain control over AI.
He also said humanity may soon hand over nearly all critical control across society to AI, making it necessary to ensure that humans still retain control when that happens.
