Imagine if a zoo let a tiger loose in the city and then said “we did our best to train it, but we can’t guarantee the tiger won’t do anything offensive”. We wouldn’t let them off the hook. And even more so than the tiger, an AI system doesn’t make autonomous decisions in a vacuum. Humans decide how and for what purpose to design it, select its training data and parameters, and choose when to let it loose on an unsuspecting population.
