This week, France hosted an\u00a0AI Action Summit<\/a>\u00a0in Paris to discuss burning questions around artificial intelligence (AI), such as how people can trust AI technologies and how the world can govern them.<\/p>\n

Sixty countries, including France, China, India, Japan, Australia and Canada, signed a\u00a0declaration<\/a>\u00a0for \u201cinclusive and sustainable\u201d AI. The United Kingdom and United States notably\u00a0refused<\/a>\u00a0to sign, with the UK saying the statement failed to address global governance and national security adequately, and US Vice President JD Vance criticising Europe\u2019s \u201cexcessive regulation\u201d of AI.<\/p>\n

Critics say the summit\u00a0sidelined safety concerns<\/a>\u00a0in favour of discussing commercial opportunities.<\/p>\n

Last week, I attended the inaugural AI safety conference held by the\u00a0International Association for Safe & Ethical AI<\/a>, also in Paris, where I heard talks by AI luminaries Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Anca Dragan, Margaret Mitchell, Max Tegmark, Kate Crawford, Joseph Stiglitz and Stuart Russell.<\/p>\n

As I listened, I realised the disregard for AI safety concerns among governments and the public rests on a handful of comforting myths about AI that are no longer true \u2013 if they ever were.<\/p>\n

1: Artificial general intelligence isn\u2019t just science fiction<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The most severe concerns about AI \u2013 that it could\u00a0pose a threat to human existence<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 typically involve so-called artificial general intelligence (AGI). In theory, AGI will be far more advanced than current systems.<\/p>\n

AGI systems will be able to learn, evolve and modify their own capabilities. They will be able to undertake tasks beyond those for which they were originally designed, and eventually surpass human intelligence.<\/p>\n

AGI does not exist yet, and it is not certain it will ever be developed. Critics often\u00a0dismiss AGI<\/a>\u00a0as something that belongs only in science fiction movies. As a result, the\u00a0most critical risks<\/a>\u00a0are not taken seriously by some and are seen as fanciful by others.<\/p>\n

However, many experts believe we are\u00a0close to achieving AGI<\/a>. Developers have suggested that, for the first time, they know what technical tasks are required to\u00a0achieve the goal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

AGI will not stay solely in sci-fi forever. It will eventually be with us, and likely sooner than we think.<\/p>\n

2: We already need to worry about current AI technologies<\/h4>\n

Given the most severe risks are often discussed in relation to AGI, there is\u00a0often a misplaced belief<\/a>\u00a0we do not need to worry too much about the\u00a0risks associated with contemporary \u201cnarrow\u201d AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, current AI technologies are already causing significant harm to humans and society. This includes through obvious mechanisms such as fatal\u00a0road<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0aviation<\/a>\u00a0crashes,\u00a0warfare<\/a>,\u00a0cyber incidents<\/a>, and even\u00a0encouraging suicide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

AI systems have also caused harm in more oblique ways, such as\u00a0election interference<\/a>, the\u00a0replacement of human work<\/a>,\u00a0biased decision-making<\/a>,\u00a0deepfakes<\/a>, and\u00a0disinformation and misinformation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to MIT\u2019s AI Incident Tracker, the harms caused by current AI technologies are\u00a0on the rise<\/a>. There is a critical need to manage current AI technologies as well as those that might appear in future.<\/p>\n

3: Contemporary AI technologies are \u2018smarter\u2019 than we think<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A third myth is that current AI technologies are not actually that clever and hence are easy to control. This myth is most often seen when discussing the large language models (LLMs) behind chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.<\/p>\n

There is plenty of debate about exactly how to define intelligence and whether AI technologies\u00a0truly are intelligent<\/a>, but for practical purposes these are distracting side issues. It is enough that AI systems behave in unexpected ways and create unforeseen risks.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Several AI chatbots appear to display surprising behaviours, such as attempts at \u2018scheming\u2019 to ensure their own preservation. Apollo Research<\/p><\/div>\n

For example, existing AI technologies have been found to engage in behaviours that most people would not expect from non-intelligent entities. These include\u00a0deceit<\/a>,\u00a0collusion<\/a>,\u00a0hacking<\/a>, and even acting to\u00a0ensure their own preservation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether these behaviours are evidence of intelligence is a moot point. The behaviours may cause harm to humans either way.<\/p>\n

What matters is that we have the controls in place to prevent harmful behaviour. The idea that \u201cAI is dumb\u201d isn\u2019t helping anyone.<\/p>\n

4: Regulation alone is not enough<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Many people<\/a>\u00a0concerned about AI safety have\u00a0advocated for AI safety regulations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last year the\u00a0European Union\u2019s AI Act<\/a>, representing the world\u2019s first AI law, was widely praised. It built on already established AI safety principles to provide guidance around AI safety and risk.<\/p>\n

While regulation is crucial, it is not all that\u2019s required to ensure AI is safe and beneficial. Regulation is only part of a complex network of controls required to keep AI safe.<\/p>\n

These controls will also include codes of practice, standards, research, education and training, performance measurement and evaluation, procedures, security and privacy controls, incident reporting and learning systems, and more. The EU AI act is a step in the right direction, but a huge amount of work is still required to develop the appropriate mechanisms required to ensure it works.<\/p>\n

5: It\u2019s not just about the AI<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The fifth and perhaps most entrenched myth centres around the idea that AI technologies themselves create risk.<\/p>\n

AI technologies form one component of a broader \u201csociotechnical\u201d system. There are many other essential components: humans, other technologies, data, artefacts, organisations, procedures and so on.<\/p>\n

Safety depends on the behaviour of all these components and their interactions. This \u201csystems thinking<\/a>\u201d philosophy demands a different approach to AI safety.<\/p>\n

Instead of controlling the behaviour of individual components of the system, we need to manage interactions and emergent properties.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0AI agents<\/a>\u00a0on the rise \u2013 AI systems with more autonomy and the ability to carry out more tasks \u2013 the interactions between different AI technologies will become increasingly important.<\/p>\n

At present, there has been little work examining these interactions and the risks that could arise in the broader sociotechnical system in which AI technologies are deployed. AI safety controls are required for all interactions within the system, not just the AI technologies themselves.<\/p>\n

AI safety is arguably one of the most important challenges our societies face. To get anywhere in addressing it, we will need a shared understanding of what the risks really are.<\/p>\n
