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

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.

We must come together to stop Flock and AI mass surveillance. That is why I will soon be introducing legislation to do just that.

What humanity needs is an international AI nonproliferation treaty.

Government should be pressing Washington for published criteria before access is restricted, advance warning and exemptions for allies, as we already handle security of supply in energy and defense. At home, it should require critical infrastructure ...

We cannot allow America to become a surveillance state where a handful of AI oligarchs profit by giving the government the power to track our every movement.

I believe we should tax AI tokens and robots. [...] The tax system nudges you toward replacing people with machines.

Those responsible for the different phases of the AI system lifecycle should be identifiable and accountable for the outcomes of the AI systems, and human oversight of AI systems should be enabled.

Many leading companies are engaged in a single-minded pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI). [...] Rather than racing to replace people, we should build AI tools that amplify human expertise and expand opportunity.
