So he compared modern computers to 4 year old and then said worries of superhuman AI are overblown? That's kind of worrying. 4 year olds typically get a lot smarter.
Agree. How far open does the barn door have to be before it goes from 'irresponsible' to 'responsible'? When does it become a matter of public interest?
What time scale is this guy assessing risk on? Does he have or expect grandchildren? Does he mind if the rest of us do?

One concern is the prospect of AI overtaking human intelligence. Another one is the extent to which companies can employ these technologies on consumers? The latter have some much more present dilemmas that are both commercial and ethical. Companies naturally prioritizes the commercial aspect.
