Subject change

 While the capabilities of AI will continue only to improve, people are concerned about whether…. While this syntax is not wrong, it can be improved  with a little trick, which I have just used in this sentence. The trick is this: In my sentence, the subject  in the subordinate clause (beginning with “while”) is the same as the subject of the main clause (where it reappears as the pronoun “it”) . In your sentence the subject changes from “the capabilities of AI” in the subordinate clause to “people” in the main clause.

This, I repeat, is not wrong, but a change of subject in a sentence complicates matters and leaves more room for  error.
