there are a lot of incentives either to ignore the reasons to be pessimistic about AI or to tell ourselves that AI's possible negative impacts are a foregone conclusion that we can't do anything about. We must not accept that line of thinking. We can build AI that can morally self-regulate by avoiding actions it predicts we would see as immoral, but it will take patience and dedicated research. We can also design regulations, organizational practices, educational resources, and democratic technologies that will make it much less likely that AI will be used in harmful and immoral ways.
