Tabarrok: AI safety fears are sincere, not regulatory capture

Tabarrok argues AI risk warnings are sincere, not regulatory capture

Economist Alex Tabarrok published an essay challenging the interpretation that Dario Amodei's warnings about AI danger and proposals for safety teams constitute regulatory capture. He contends the fears are genuine because executives warned about AI risks before they had companies to promote, and the concern extends beyond industry to independent researchers.

“Which is more likely, that a useful heuristic sometimes misfires or that "our product might kill you" is a clever way to sell it? Death threats are a poor marketing strategy.”
