Original titleHow to respond to an AI disaster
AISummary
The article argues that AI disasters, though potentially serious, can be managed by following the response model of civil nuclear power, which investigates failures and adapts quickly.
It cites nuclear's record of about 0.03 deaths per terawatt-hour, compared with 25 for coal and 18 for oil. The piece says industry and government responses, rather than the disasters themselves, will determine public trust in AI.
