What does “good” coverage of AI mean to you? I wrote about how the disparate views that very smart people have about existential risk are making it hard to calibrate how to cover advancements in artificial intelligence.

@caseynewton I guess we could start focusing on people who study AI policy and safety. I get that Hinton and Schmidhuber are examples, but being pioneers on neural networks don't make their opinions on *societal impact* risks any more valid than the average AI scholar.
Their opinion kinda matters, but also kinda don't, like famous people. There are more relevant individuals to platform.
