I think the excerpt you give is pretty misleading, and gave me a much different understanding of the article (which I had trouble believing based on my previous knowledge of Tom and Eric) than when I actually read it. In particular, your quote ends mid-paragraph. The actual paragraph is:

However, we still have a great deal of work to do to address the concerns and risks afoot with our growing reliance on AI systems. Each of the three important risks outlined above (programming errors, cyberattacks, “Sorcerer’s Apprentice”) is being addressed by current research, but greater efforts are needed.

The next paragraph is:

We urge our colleagues in industry and academia to join us in identifying and studying these risks and in finding solutions to addressing them, and we call on government funding agencies and philanthropic initiatives to support this research. We urge the technology industry to devote even more attention to software quality and cybersecurity as we increasingly rely on AI in safety-critical functions. And we must not put AI algorithms in control of potentially-dangerous systems until we can provide a high degree of assurance that they will behave safely and properly.

Can you please fix this ASAP? (And also change your title to actually be an accurate synopsis of the article as well?) Otherwise you're just adding to the noise.
