"And that means AI engineers need to start thinking like engineers, who build things like bridges and therefore know that shoddy work costs lives."

"AI engineers, inculcated in this way of thinking from their schooldays, therefore often act as if problems can be solved just with more training data and more astute system prompts."

Sounds like suggesting some sort of software engineering board certification plus and ethics certification — the “Von Neumann Oath”? Unethical while still legal software is just extremely lucrative, it seems hard to have this idea take flight.

> can be solved just with more training data

Well, y'see - those deaths of innocent people *are* the training data.

Data breaches are hardly lethal. When we’re talking about AI there are plenty of actually lethal failure modes.

The trifecta:

> LLM access to untrusted data, the ability to read valuable secrets and the ability to communicate with the outside world

The suggestion is to reduce risk by setting boundaries.

Seems like security 101.
