AI doomerism may serve big business interests

Original: How the bad science of AI doomerism is good for big business

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists argues that alarmist claims about artificial intelligence, or 'AI doomerism', rest on weak science. The piece contends that hype about existential AI risks can actually benefit major technology companies, by distracting from present-day harms and framing regulation in ways that large firms with resources can absorb, while smaller competitors cannot.

Why now: The argument that AI risk narratives can serve corporate interests is a provocative counterpoint to current AI safety debates.
