I suspect this letter was triggered, at least in part, by the recent autonomous cyberattack news.

If this letter is a purely amoral initiative, I would expect the most amoral operator in the business (sama) to be a signatory.

Sorry, I know this a non-sequitur but I just saw your profile and noticed you're in politics. If you want to do something productive about the risks of AI: *regulate its applications*. Get it out of employment, housing, and credit decisions. Incentivize litigation for consumers affected by algorithmic decisions. Incentivize whistleblowing activity by employees who know that black box systems are being misused.

There are so many tools available to do something about the true threats AI poses. (This is a topic that the industry prefers not to discuss.)
