Sabotaged AI Threat Holds Even Without Alignment Problem

Even someone who entirely dismisses the idea that AIs spontaneously develop their own goals must still worry about deliberate sabotage—it is demonstrated that AIs can be given ulterior motives, and with Chinese spies known to be present in AI companies, no one can be confident a foreign adversary hasn't planted a backdoor; the same high-evidence standard that AIs aren't pursuing ulterior goals neutralizes both the alignment and the sabotage threats at once.
