True, peeps tend to have all sort of fears. I thnk, mostly when it leads to changes. I suppose, most humans don't like change.
In the shorter term, I agree with you. Maybe best for corporates, like OpenAI to lead the development.
But what when we reached singularity? When AI will be not only all around as, but actually be able to handle all tasks humans are executing? Even the creative side of things? Am 100% sure AI will do this at some point in time. I believe that when we get there, we must make sure AI is in public hands. Maybe the latter is the only way for us to be able to live in coexistence with AI. When we leave it to private commercials companies, the fears of Hawking, Musk, and the like may become true: AI whipping out human race.
Dont' get me wrong, I am mostly a glass-is-half-full type of person. I take the same approach to AI. My world looks perfect in that scene when AI is doing all the tasks for us humans. None of us has an obligation to work. We somehow created this new system in which we all can get to at least our basic necessities (food, roof, healthcare and whatnot) without any obligations to 'work' for it. We made sure any base resources are distributed fairly. Energy is free (a must-be in a such scenario). We can spend 24x7 doing the things we want to. We enjoy absolute freedom. We need some BIG changes to make all this happen though 😉
