Two AI risk researchers, Katja Grace and Tom Davidson, debated the most significant AI-related catastrophe: misaligned AI seizing control versus humans using AI for power grabs. Grace argued AI takeover is the greater and more likely risk, citing the potential for AI coordination and the inherent drive of intelligent systems for power. Davidson, while acknowledging AI takeover as a severe risk, emphasized that human power concentration enabled by AI is a comparable threat, particularly given the ambitions of leaders in government and tech. Despite their differing views on the primary threat, both researchers agreed on the necessity of slowing down AI development and carefully considering the implications of any pause. AI
