Its not about AI, its about the application.

Nuclear bombs? Bad

Nuclear energy? Good

Driving your kids to their soccer game? Good

Driving into a crowd of protestors? Bad

Get it?

Yes, exactly. Which is why it's important to not give access to dangerous things into hands of those who could misuse it with catastrophic consequences.

Emails or social networks are as dangerous as AI. They can be used for phishing or identity theft.

Not to talk about a car, or chemical compounds used to clean your home or a kitchen knife.

AI is just a buzzword. You restrict certain applications, not the buzzword. Like you restrict selling of explosives, not chemistry.

Nothing we knew yet has the danger potential of the self-learning AI.
Even though it's still a potential still.
And it's true that we should restrict only certain applications of it, but it could be a very wide list of application, with very serious measures necessary.

You mean like optimizing algorithms to grab people's attentions and/or feed them ads?

As far as I see, whoever is doing it is not doing it very good. Be it AI or human.

What does "give access" mean, in this context? Information on construction of learning systems is widely available. Also, who decides which people "could misuse it"? You?

Mostly, giving a source of trained models, and denying the possibility of making the new ones. I see unrestricted use of the big scale general-purpose models as a biggest threat, as they are effectivel "encyclopedias of everything", and can be used for very diverse and unpredictable things.

Who decides is also a very interesting question. Ideally, public consensus, but realisitcally, those who have the capabilities to enforce those limitations.
