This document discusses the development of artificial intelligence and its potential impacts. It notes that today's AI still lacks important qualities like empathy, but that it is developing rapidly. In the short term, AI could cause issues like bias, errors and unemployment, but in the long term it could pose critical risks like autonomous warfare, cyberwarfare, political influence and loss of control. However, it also posits that best case scenarios could see AI helping to solve problems like war, hunger and disease while enabling better decisions and productivity. The document emphasizes that things are changing fast in the field of AI and its effects could be huge.

Lack of empathy,
poor impulse control,
problems with planning and foresight,
poor behavioral restraints

Cultivate algorithm suspicion. Scrutinize!
AI does not give us a “get out of ethics free” card.
Just because you don’t understand which biases it has,
does NOT mean AI algorithms are not biased.
