I'm professor in AI and I'm not scared... yet.

I teach AI to all my 2nd and 3rd year university students for their Information Technology courses. I've been teaching it since 2018 when AI was novel and ML was just starting to gain its popularity. The path of the technology is mindblowing as I've never seen before. The rate of its development is faster than anything I've ever seen. <br><br>I've been reading professor Nick Bostrom's work on the dangers of super-intelligence and his "Value Alignment Problem". I've always thought that the danger of AI is far in the future and it's highly unlikely that "singularity" is going to happen in the next two decades or three. I thought it will never affect me, it's not my problem. <br><br>But with Chatgpt explosion, I'm not so sure anymore, it's making me reevaluate its timeline and even though I'm not scared, I'm not sure anymore. If I was scared before I'd probably say that I'm more scared now. <br><br>I'm still not scared because I'm an optimist, but my heart tells me otherwise. Now I'm not so sure anymore.<br><br>Edit: I don't know why people are downvoting this post. This is professor saying that he's not scared anymore, not scared about the future of AI but about the danger of AI to human race. Anxiety is a common feeling now for people who's in AI field. It's no longer something you can joke about.
