There’s three kinds of AI safety:

1. “AI is going to (help someone) take over the world”. We don’t need this yet but it’s better to think about it before you need it rather than afterwards.

2. AI is going to do genuinely bad things: generate CP, teach people to make dangerous chemicals.

3. AI is going to do things that people in California think are dangerous: generate a picture of a boob, generate picture of a group of people who are not a mixture of different ethnicities, or sexes, give an answer to a question that isn’t aligned with how people in California think.

China is not concerned with any of these, although it is concerned with its own version of point 3:

3b. Generate criticism of the CCP or anything that the CCP doesn’t like people to know about.
