@technooptimist: Barack Obama says the most dramatic AI scenario isn’t actually the risk that concerns him most. He acknowledges a “non-zero chance” of highly advanced AI becoming smarter than humans and setting its own goals, but says his bigger concern is what happens when those goals stop aligning with ours. “You may get a misalignment between what they want to do and what we want them to do, and that gap can be dangerous.” — Barack Obama at a DCCC fundraiser at the New-York Historical Society in Manhattan, Sept. 10, 2026.
