The Boeing example underlines also that an important part of the alignment problem is not about trusting the AI, but the corporation or entity that controls it
Problem is, if it becomes sufficiently cheaper to trust the machine and their errors sufficiently rare, many people may take the trade off. The big question for me is when you get to that point.
Totally agree. A Boeing can probably fly without a pilot, but would you trust it if you don’t have an expert inside who has their life at risk as much as you do if things go bad?
