But they might not be the right people to listen to in this regard, because the threats of AI are fundamentally political. Most scientists and technical experts, however intelligent, do not have training in politics. They generally do not have the mindset to think about politics, with the exception of the regulatory impact to their sector. Nobody expects an inventor to grasp the political and social implications of his invention.

The Blind Spot of AI Threats

This explains why these AI experts usually make rather naïve and unimaginative comments regarding the threats of AI; such as "we need to urge companies to pause AI," "the government definitely needs to involved," "humans can hurt others with AI," we don't want "AI to fall into the wrong hands," because "bad actors" could use AI, etc.
