• Title: Views on AI aren't binary -- they're plural
• Authors: Thorin Bristow, Luke Thorburn, Diana Acosta-Navas,
• Abstract summary: We argue that a simple binary is not an accurate model of AI discourse. We provide concrete suggestions for how individuals can help avoid the emergence of us-vs-them conflict in the broad community of people working on AI development and governance.

• Abstract: Recent developments in AI have brought broader attention to tensions between two overlapping communities, "AI Ethics" and "AI Safety." In this article we (i) characterize this false binary, (ii) argue that a simple binary is not an accurate model of AI discourse, and (iii) provide concrete suggestions for how individuals can help avoid the emergence of us-vs-them conflict in the broad community of people working on AI development and governance. While we focus on "AI Ethics" an "AI Safety," the general lessons apply to related tensions, including those between accelerationist ("e/acc") and cautious stances on AI development.

  The better we align AI models with our values, the easier we may make it for adversaries to misalign the models. With AI's increasing real-world impact, it is imperative that a broad community of researchers be aware of the AI alignment paradox.

  This article critically examines the recent hype around AI safety. We consider what 'AI safety' actually means, and outline the dominant concepts that the digital footprint of AI safety aligns with. We share our concerns on how AI safety may normalize AI that advances structural harm through providing exploitative and harmful AI with a veneer of safety.

  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.

  In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society. A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests. This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.
