Why do you care about AI Existential Safety?

Attorneys generally do not have a sense of AI’s capacity for large-scale risk, as the focus has been mostly on the use of AI in the legal industry for research and writing. Since most government officials are attorneys, I’m concerned that policymakers are not fully aware of the risks related to AI. I see it as part of my mission as an academic to inform law and policymakers about the benefits and risks of AI development in their jurisdictions. I also hope to help corporations recognize that it is in their best (legal and ethical) interests to prioritize safe AI development.
