In the near future, AI is predicted to become sufficiently powerful that misuse by a terrorist organization would enable creation of a bioweapon capable of wiping out over 95% of humanity within a matter of months. No adequate defenses are in place, the world would be helpless against such an attack. Do you think this risk seems less dangerous than the risk of government surveillance?

would say according to AI:
Nathan, the potential misuse of AI does pose a significant risk. However, handing governments the power for invasive surveillance leads to a loss of civil liberties that is equally dangerous. The solution should be smart, principled regulation and targeted security measures rather than mass surveillance, which history has shown to be prone to abuse.
