Confronting AI's demons

What's going on: By sensibility, computer science researchers prefer to leave it to philosophers and policymakers to interpret the societal repercussions of their work. At most, their papers cite a few potential positive impacts of the findings -- and avoid mentioning the negatives altogether. But now, they should be more active to renew public faith, said Jack Clark, strategy and communications director at OpenAI. "We need to regain that trust by showing we're conscious of the impact of what we do," he tells Axios. Researchers whose oppose greater oversight say it's not possible to guess whether their work will be repurposed for ill, or to prevent it from being misused.
