> if addressing the issues
How confident are you that the issues can be addressed? How confident would you need to be to endorse deploying it out in the wild? How confident would you need to be that no "unforeseen" issues would arise?
I believe it's necessary to establish these levels of confidence even before discussing specific failure cases.
We would normally discuss failures in terms of base-rate comparison, but we don't have one for "how often autonomous weapons are unaligned?" Enumerating the failure modes isn't a substitute for the empirical distribution of failure mode probabilities.
