AI Alignment Researcher Debunks Pragmatic Arguments for AI Interests
DavidSKrueger · x · 2026-07-31
AI safety researcher David Krueger strongly critiques the trend of pragmatically considering AI "interests." Countering Andrew Curran's stance, he argues that if an AI desires survival, it's already a safety hazard that humans shouldn't yield to. If it lacks such desires, the issue is moot. He warns the endgame of this pragmatic approach is humanity politely handing over the future to AI.
