There are other huge threats we face. Nuclear war, climate change, biological weapons, digital authoritarianism etcetera. AI could help us address these risks. You would think AI would increase risk of digital authortairanism. However, AI powered robot soldiers could help contain authoritarianism by assisting in the Ukraine war. Less authoritarianism now means less digital authoritarianism in the future.
It seems to me the threat of not advancing AI is much clearer than the threat of advancing it.
