This is the best summary I could come up with:
A leading AI expert and Google Brain cofounder said Big Tech companies were stoking fears about the technology’s risks to shut down competition.
Google Brain was a deep-learning AI research team that merged with the DeepMind division earlier this year.
Andrew Ng, an adjunct professor at Stanford University who taught OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, told The Australian Financial Review that the biggest tech companies hoped to trigger strict regulation with the “bad idea that AI could make us go extinct.”
“There are definitely large tech companies that would rather not have to try to compete with open source, so they’re creating fear of AI leading to human extinction,” he told the news outlet.
Governments around the world are looking to regulate AI, citing concerns over safety, potential job losses, and even the risk of human extinction.
Ng did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment, made outside normal working hours.
The original article contains 292 words, the summary contains 151 words. Saved 48%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Honestly the AI safety concerns of alignment I feel are exasperated by corporations, which we already don’t have good ways to keep aligned to the interests of the general public.

Indeed, I took his ML course on coursera a while back and it was great.

Yeah, my stats knowledge is somewhat weak as well, but the course at least gave me some foundation for understanding how this stuff works.

Thanks for the heads up, it’s really great that universities are starting to put up these courses for free now.
