That Big AI compa­nies are the only ones who can protect us from the risks that their prod­ucts create. But this narra­tive isn’t believ­able unless the threat is believ­able. So Big AI has an incen­tive to talk up the risks their prod­ucts create, but no incen­tive to invest in secu­rity prac­tices commen­su­rate with those risks.
