Why do people believe that AI is dangerous? What direct evidence is there that this is likely to be the case?
Since we have no AI, we do not have any direct evidence.
The argument though goes like this: AI is orthogonal to purpose, so any sufficiently advanced AI could self-improve and have an exponential impact on our society. But human values are fragile and complex, and if we do not carefully design said AI purpose carefully, it could trample all over them uncaringly.
