No; you make AI better, you lose. That’s the default condition. [...] the worse the results are for human beings.

AI Verified Verified. In the March 20, 2020 TechCrunch interview, Stuart Russell is quoted saying, “No; you make AI better, you lose. That’s the default condition,” and later in the same interview he says that under the standard model, “the better the machines solve the problem, the worse the results are for human beings.” The submitted quote is therefore a faithful ellipsis-based splice of Russell’s own words from that source.
