Is the following (conspiracy?) theory implausible? Could it be that Google and the other big players are well aware of the dangers of AI and are actively working to thwart the dangers internally? They could present an image of no concern so as to not spark any government intervention into their affairs or public concern getting in the way of their business plans. But should we not believe that they have considered very thoroughly whether there is immanent danger from AI, and are running their business in accordance to the resulting utility function?
Isn't viewing the present situation with the big AI players as a tragedy of the commons scenario too simplistic? Even from say Google's selfish perspective, should it not be working to stave off an AI apocalypse?
When Google acquired DeepMind part of the deal was that Google get's an ethics boards. The impression I got, was that the purpose of that board is that DeepMind doesn't evolve into a UFAI.
Jaan Tallinn who made his fortune in Skype is one of the big donors for MIRI and was also a huge investor in DeepMind. I would imagine that he and a few other people who are less public are responsible for demanding the board.
I think every MIRI workshop did include someone from Google.
Luke did write somewhere that MIRI got six-figures in it's lifetime from Google matching funds for employee donations.
On the other hand Google is a big corporation. "well aware" is not precise term when thinking about giant companies.
