> "ensure that AI is always under human control"

He doesn't say "our own control". AI security is a very serious matter. The way it's being discussed right now gives more harm than benefit to understand the problem.

This is because it's discussed in Cold War/WW3 context. This is exactly Dario's mentality in this announcement. And it's understandable since USA is a country actively fighting in constant wars. They even have a Department of War.

This is unlike the rest of the world which have more like a Peace-time mentality. In peace times, trade, collaboration and good relationships are more important than competition or arms race. China seems like playing this game better than US at the moment.

Dario also speculates to take the potential benefits or dangers of AI to the extremes. This is also not very healthy thinking and can be dangerous when combined with war mentality.
