- Abstract summary: We start by classifying different types of AI Risk skepticism and analyze their root causes.
We conclude by suggesting some intervention approaches, which may be successful in reducing AI risk skepticism, at least amongst artificial intelligence researchers.

- Abstract: In this work, we survey skepticism regarding AI risk and show parallels with
other types of scientific skepticism. We start by classifying different types
of AI Risk skepticism and analyze their root causes. We conclude by suggesting
some intervention approaches, which may be successful in reducing AI risk
skepticism, at least amongst artificial intelligence researchers.

Applications of Generative AI are expected to revolutionize a number of different areas, ranging from science & medicine to education.
The potential for these seismic changes has triggered a lively debate about potential risks and resulted in calls for tighter regulation.
This regulation is likely to put at risk the budding field of open-source Generative AI.

We describe risks that include large-scale social harms, malicious uses, and irreversible loss of human control over autonomous AI systems.
There is a lack of consensus about how exactly such risks arise, and how to manage them.
Present governance initiatives lack the mechanisms and institutions to prevent misuse and recklessness, and barely address autonomous systems.

This paper provides an overview of the main sources of catastrophic AI risks, which we organize into four categories.
Malicious use, in which individuals or groups intentionally use AIs to cause harm; AI race, in which competitive environments compel actors to deploy unsafe AIs or cede control to AIs.
organizational risks, highlighting how human factors and complex systems can increase the chances of catastrophic accidents.
rogue AIs, describing the inherent difficulty in controlling agents far more intelligent than humans.

Many exhaustive taxonomy are possible, and some are useful -- particularly if they reveal new risks or practical approaches to safety.
This paper explores a taxonomy based on accountability: whose actions lead to the risk, are the actors unified, and are they deliberate?
We also provide stories to illustrate how the various risk types could each play out, including risks arising from unanticipated interactions of many AI systems, and risks from deliberate misuse.

We take a closer look at AI fairness and analyze how lack of AI fairness can lead to deepening of biases over time.
We discuss how biased models can lead to more negative real-world outcomes for certain groups.
If the issues persist, they could be reinforced by interactions with other risks and have severe implications on society in the form of social unrest.

We show that, despite their current huge success, deep learning based AI systems can be easily fooled by subtle adversarial noise.
Based on a case study of skeleton-based human interactions, we propose a novel adversarial attack on interactions.
Our study highlights potential risks in the interaction loop with AI and humans, which need to be carefully addressed when deploying AI systems in safety-critical applications.
