If an AI can do no harm, then it can do no good

This article categorizes AI safety risks through the lens of intentions into four types: good human intentions with unreliable systems, bad human intentions turning AI into a war machine, good AI intentions with ambiguous use cases, and bad AI intentions leading to alignment hell. It discusses examples, mitigation strategies, and the need for technical, institutional, and policy approaches.

  • Malicious human use of AI requires institutional and policy constraints.
