AI. Artificial intelligence, X-risks, existential risksAbstract
This article deals with the overview and discussion of some of the factors influencing the mitigation of concerns associated with the AI: Cold war mentality and weaponizing; mystification; experience, knowledge base and ''wrong'' experiments; Safety vs. security; Energy and water resources; increase of technology dependence and decline of cognitive capacities; Entertainment industry influence. The list provided is non-exhaustive; in fact, listing all influential factors would require volumes of space. These are perhaps the most prominent, all of which have a negative impact on general awareness, thereby increasing the possibility of global, human-extinction-level events. Their depiction inevitably leads to the conclusion that we are heading in the wrong direction.
