Why people in charge of AI business stab talk it

It may surprise that some persons went rich in AI business now warns for it and want the devolopment to slow down... rapidly.

Is it for publicity to get even richer?

Personally I wouldn't think so.

Imagine you were part of the AI development and you realize your wealth is at stake if your business continue to develop its products.

This is for now human logical thinking, that if the technology now goes beyond human logical capabilities, that if you are rich today there are no guaranties you will stay there (even though you were a "father of AI") as a consequence of AI development. There are soon no longer possibilies to do AI "laws" which human can constitute that matches AI level of logic. It could with wildest fantasies in what AI will do in near future be anything that threatens global or individual wealth. Just to come up with something it could for example be that it develops another system, that is superior to our financial systmes, but something that goes beyond what human understands -now and when it might happen!

There are of course several other doomsday scenario that one could imagine now but the threat of wealth is enough to take the red flags from persons that gotten rich from it seriously!

Also consider that time is soon to come when these guys can bring nothing to the discussion any longer. For now we can listen to them and hope "someone" is doing "something" about what they explain and we all feel a little bit better,... for a while.

AI has soon passed their level intelectually and logically in this subject as well. By far! Would you feel comfortable in not listening to them anymore?

What you could yorself is to demand politicians to lift these matters to THE most important agenda item!
