Finally, even if someone created fiction which made a large number of people take AI risk more seriously, would this help much to reduce AI risk?
Fiction, articles, books etc all exist in the realm of abstraction, which is typically a pretty weak medium for persuasion.
What might work better is an ongoing documentary series which highlights real world problems with AI as they unfold. You know, if you were to obtain footage of a driverless semi truck crashing in to a family car, some things like that.
Or, just sit back, wait for these things to happen, and watch them on the news. Let existing media do the work, they love drama and tragedy etc.
