I see a path right now to a world in which, you know, in a few years from now, we start integrating AI models into more and more of our software. We start building it up more and more. We sort of make these things a little bit more autonomous in their actions.

We start just naturally, because software does everything for us, we start naturally kind of infusing this into all software we have, including software that handles things like critical infrastructure, stuff that controls the power grid, things like this, right?

And now all of a sudden, you have these agents that are sort of, you know, taking an active, playing an active role in doing things like controlling power grids. This leads to the possibility of, even in my view, sort of massive correlated failures that could do things like bring down power, electricity in a way that we can't restore it easily in for a large portion of the country.

And I think it's honestly not again, if we go down the wrong path, this is definitely not that impossible to imagine right now in this world where the power has been shut off, you know, we can debate and decides can debate about whether this was a bug in the system. And we should never have installed LLMs here in the first place.

Or we could debate whether this was actually the rogue AI taking over and deciding to shut off the power so it could kill all humanity. But who cares? The power is still off. This is still a catastrophic event for the country. And so we have to have a plan for how to sort of think about events like this happening. This is an example I come to often.

To a certain extent, it doesn't matter whether the AI is intentionally doing something in an evil fashion while deceiving humans, or whether this is a bug and a flaw in the system. The end effects are the same in some cases. And so we need to desperately take kind of put in structures in place that prevent these things from being possible.

Well, exactly. So yeah, we are all very familiar right now with the downsides of correlated failure, right? And imagine if that was also true of all the SCADA systems that were operating power, the power grid right now, which, you know, not impossible to believe. And the problem is that these systems, because we don't understand, really, I mean, and we don't, we don't understand them, right?
