In discussions about the development and governance of AI, a false binary is often drawn between two groups: those most concerned about the existing, social impacts of AI, and those most concerned about possible future risks of powerful AI systems taking actions that don't align with human interests. In this piece, we (i) describe the emergence of this false binary, (ii) explain why the seemingly clean distinctions drawn between these two groups don't hold up under scrutiny and (iii) highlight efforts to bridge this divide.
