Stuart Russell, co-author of the worlds most used AI textbook, interviewed on potential social implications of AI, including risks from super-intelligent systems. The rationale for delaying consideration of risks is not as strong as it was five to ten years ago. Progress in many subareas of AI has accelerated rapidly and there have been advances in autonomous system designs. Due to recent technological development and the strong economic incentives to develop AI technology, AI risks require present-day attention. [...] Professor Russell believes that other researchers are mistaken about the tradeoffs involved. He believes that the potential benefits of advanced AI are enormous, but that if they are deployed recklessly, then none of that upside will be realized.
