Yeah, well, hold on to your hats because this is about to become messy.<p>And, I don&#x27;t know why we continue to advocate for obscurity. It doesn&#x27;t work, guys! But I agree that AI should become more like an engineering discipline, which would include training in best practices and safety.

Yes because security by obscurity works. Let&#x27;s just hide how our AI works. No one else could possible come up with it.&#x2F;s<p>Makes it pretty hard for anyone else to prepare for the potential problems if what can cause the problems is hidden.

There are always enough people who don’t care. I don’t want an AI to destroy humans, but frankly if it is an inevitability I’d rather it was an AI I designed.

WTF is this? These are and have been problems since forever. Yes, we now have to worry whether someone tries to murder you by replacing your roomba with a RoboWars KillerBot, contrived as it may be. Or even worse... Your voice and image may be FALSIFIED by unscrupulous actors and we are defenseless? There are still people alive from a time when any correspondence was written by hand, delivered by third parties, and the world kept turning.<p>The only way these contrivances would be harmful was if they were unknown to society at large.
