🕹 Technology Artificial Intelligence Cybersecurity Espionage Ethics Philosophy
  1. AI is powerful and constantly evolving, kind of like a child with a dangerous toy. If we’re not careful, it might lead us to disaster, like driving off a cliff.
  2. We need to build AI securely from the start, not just put out fires after problems arise. It’s like making sure a plane is safe before takeoff rather than handing out parachutes later.
  3. The way we defend against AI and its risks should be flexible and unpredictable. If we can keep changing our strategy, we might stay one step ahead and avoid big problems.
