Human Decisions Are Behind Every ‘Rogue’ AI

A lot of people are afraid right now. I’ve lost track of the times OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta have announced they lost control of their AI. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wants to “pace the frontier” and Bill Gates is warning there’s a non-zero chance that AI will kill billions. The US military has embraced AI and it’s leading to grave mistakes. In Ukraine, an AI-controlled drone has killed three people.

Something is bothering me about all these stories and it’s not the thought that artificial intelligence could wipe out humanity. It’s the distance AI has given human designers from the consequences of their actions.

This week on the show Eryk Salvaggio stops by to talk about intentionality, design, AI doom, and the messy way we’re all talking about this new technology. Salvaggio is a Gates Scholar at Cambridge University.
