"Michael Wooldridge, a professor of AI at Oxford University, said the danger arose from the immense commercial pressures that technology firms were under to release new #AI tools:
"It’s the classic technology scenario,” he said. “You’ve got a technology that’s very, very promising, but not as rigorously tested as you would like it to be, and the commercial pressure behind it is unbearable.”

Race for AI is making Hindenburg-style disaster ‘a real risk’, says leading expert

Prof Michael Wooldridge says scenario such as deadly self-driving car update or AI hack could destroy global interest

Genau was ich immer sage.

neuer #Feilnerisms: #AI #KI ist #Hindenburg-IT. Nur eine Frage der Zeit bis das explodiert und eine eigentlich gute Technologie mitreisst.

“The Hindenburg disaster destroyed global interest in airships; it was a dead technology from that point on, and a similar moment is a real risk for AI,” Wooldridge said. Because AI is embedded in so many systems, a major incident could strike almost any sector."
