And they should.
And they should. TL; DR: Simulation is the only way to forecast how future complex / AI systems will misbehave. This is post #1 in a series of 3 outlining my current views on AI. Part 1 focuses on the need for improving how people think , rather than improving their leverage over the world. Part 2 gives “no brainer,” objective strategies helpful for improving the safety of ML systems on the margin. Part 3 focuses on the best ways to measure and empirically evaluate ML systems as they are deployed in the world. A hot take: the #2 most important use case for AI in the next decade will be perform
