Artificial General Intelligence and the Common Sense Argument
Book chapter, 2022

It has sometimes been suggested that lack of common sense in present-day AI systems demonstrates that there is no need to be concerned about future scenarios where a powerful unaligned AI seizes control of the world from us humans. This argument is criticized, and the confusion is shown to stem partly from an overly one-sided focus on artificial general intelligence (AGI), along with the implicit and unwarranted assumption that AGI must be attained before any such drastic scenarios can be realized.
