It does of course oxidize. The relevant questions are:
1. Does it oxidize at an appreciable rate when exposed to air?
2. How does the conductivity of the oxidation product differ from silver itself?

Per this thread on AA is seems that the answer, as is often the case, is "it depends". If you live near a salt marsh or another area with lots of hydrogen sulfide in the air, silver seems like not so good an idea. Otherwise, who knows. Anyways, periodic cleaning of connectors is always a good idea.

Chill out, dude ;-)
