"Social consequences are a completely different thing. You cannot run history in a laboratory and see... the social consequences of invent[ion]. ...You create the first steam engine, you can test for accidents. You cannot test what will be the geopolitical... or cultural implications of a steam engine in a laboratory. It's the same with AI. So it's... far too soon to know."
