What's new in AI governance, safety, jobs and society

If we allow artificial superintelligence to be built it could risk the security freedom and lives of Americans. We need to ban the development of superintelligence so we never get to the place where there are machines that go beyond humans’ ability t...

Having a kill switch to prevent AI catastrophes should be considered a bare minimum protection. The powers conferred by this amendment are not just nice to have; they are fundamental in safeguarding our national security.

I'm not sure that pauses don't work. I think labs are begging for what they call pacing. So it's not about a technology pause, but it's about a pause for governance.

Companion chatbots will be prohibited across all grades.

This is not something in the public interest. I think law enforcement needs to have tools to keep communities safe. Flock cameras are not a tool that I support.

Countries should not restrict open-weight AI models.

Policymakers do not need to approach each innovation in isolation and should not treat every emerging technology as a first-of-its-kind policy problem.

But if governments don’t invest in the safety infrastructure now, public trust will erode, and the opportunity to leverage benefits from AI will go away, and then we’re looking at deepening inequality.

Future risk reports, system cards and external evaluations should be assessed for reproducible methods, clear separation between simulated and real actions, disclosure of missed detections, and evidence that safety interventions do not simply make pr...

It is really important, given the stakes, that people who develop AI and those who test it don’t have relationships with each other.

Such concerns are not only overblown but may also have things backwards. It is just as likely that AI will lead to employment gains. [...] The benefit new technology brings is greater production. It requires workers with different skill sets, but not...

The following practices are mapped to Australia’s 8 AI Ethics Principles, demonstrating how governments can practically apply them to their assurance of AI. [...] Governments should identify and consult with stakeholders, including subject matter and...

The proceeds - cash, shares, warrants, royalties and other assets - should then flow into the National AI Dividend Fund. [...] The dividends from this fund should then capitalise new universal savings accounts for every young person.

It is calling on the government to require AI companies to monitor and report severe loss of control incidents and to introduce emergency powers to manage severe loss of control incidents including temporarily restricting AI services.

For funders and international community: support and/or collaborate with local actors best placed to detect AI harm, and back efforts to establish cross-border AI incident information sharing.
