      AI is already supporting cancer detection and flood warnings

      “And in that case, we're able to use these tools to pick up evidence of breast cancer that would have been missed before and pick them up much earlier.”

      Safety work needs to keep pace with AI capabilities

      “But if the capabilities outrun our ability to build this technology and deploy it safely, I worry about that.”

      AI risks include connected systems and unequal access
