The direction of AI is currently determined by a small group of companies [...] We are seeing the construction of an oligarchy that responds solely to its own interests. The governance of artificial intelligence should be in the hands of the people, ... more Unverified source (2026)

AI incident reporting requirements are emerging in regulation and policy, yet no operational criteria exist for determining when a detected AI incident warrants escalation beyond national handling to international coordination. [...] For escalation t... more Unverified source (2026)

AI chatbots can be powerful tools for learning, but right now, millions of children are using them with no guardrails and no guarantee of safety. As a mother, I believe it is our obligation to create a future for our children where AI is safe by desi... more Unverified source (2026)

Competition, innovation, and speech options will be limited as a result of these moves. Unverified source (2026)

I resigned from OpenAI on Monday. The same day, they started testing ads in ChatGPT. OpenAI has the most detailed record of private human thought ever assembled. Can we trust them to resist the tidal forces pushing them to abuse it? Unverified source (2026)

8. Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone. Or, less formally, ``Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.'' I dub this: ``Linus's Law''. My origin... more AI Unverifiable source (2000)

Before Adam's suicide, OpenAI knew that lots of people contemplating suicide were talking to ChatGPT. You would have thought that this necessitated stronger, not weaker, guardrails. [...] To encourage engagement, the company made conscious decisions ... more Unverified source (2026)

This [...] legislation could [...] subjecting [...] to lawsuits [...]. The bill is overly broad [...] subject to litigation. [...] could subject online services to costly [...] lawsuits. Unverified source (2023)

For middle powers, the logic of banding together is undeniably compelling at a time of escalating great power coercion. [...] It would be a distributed or collaborative sovereignty in which AI infrastructure, capabilities, and governance decisionmaki... more Unverified source (2026)

For South Korea and Singapore, our advantage does not necessarily lie in building the largest or the latest frontier large language models (LLMs), but in the deployment and adoption of AI extensively, responsibly, effectively and across the entire so... more Unverified source (2026)

At some point we will have super-intelligent machines. But we think that the best way to actually have many possible futures — good futures — is to keep humans in the loop. Unverified source (2026)

The immediate danger is not that machines will act without human oversight; it is that human overseers have no idea what the machines are actually "thinking." State-of-the-art AI systems are essentially "black boxes." We know the inputs and outputs, ... more Unverified source (2026)

There's suddenly a new possibility, a new opportunity, to use these tools, learn them, and start your own mini business. [...] Even if there is temporary job displacement to deal with, that sort of glorious future is what we should look forward to. Unverified source (2026)

People have the wrong intuition when they say that if AI can do my job for ten dollars an hour, then my wage falls to ten dollars and my life is terrible. A world where AI can do research or teaching at that cost is a world where AI is extremely capa... more Unverified source (2026)

In recent years, artificial intelligence systems have increasingly taken control of the production of texts, music and videos. This puts much of the human creative industry at risk of being dismantled and replaced with the label 'Powered by AI,' turn... more Unverified source (2026)

We did our most in-depth model welfare assessment yet for Claude Mythos Preview. We're still super uncertain about all of this, but as models become more capable and sophisticated we think it's an increasingly important topic for both moral and pragm... more Unverified source (2026)

Large language models can be thought of as advanced role-players. They are really good at adopting roles based on what they've learned from their training data. That can include playing the role of a conscious robot. [...] If you have an emotional co... more Unverified source (2026)

Computational functionalism dominates current debates on AI consciousness. This is the hypothesis that subjective experience emerges entirely from abstract causal topology, regardless of the underlying physical substrate. We argue this view fundament... more Unverified source (2026)

I now see a path to actually avoid loss of control, at least unintended loss of control. With the work that I've been doing, I'm really convinced that there is a path. And it is not something that's going to take a decade; it is something that is ver... more Unverified source (2026)

The fact that things look aligned most of the time when they're functioning in their chatbot, or very limited 'Assistant' roles, is very little evidence that they will be adequately aligned when they work much more independently and have much greater... more Unverified source (2026)

Without collective action, artificial intelligence will deepen historical inequalities. [...] The data generated by our citizens, companies, and public bodies is being appropriated by a few conglomerates, with no equivalent compensation in terms of v... more Unverified source (2026)

Whether AI's benefits are widely shared is a political question, has nothing to do with technology. Unverified source (2026)

My bill ensures a human is involved when deadly autonomous weapons are fired, AI cannot be used to spy on the American people, and that a human is on the switch to launch nuclear weapons. Unverified source (2026)

It causes a lot of cases to get solved. It’s another tool we’re now not going to have. That facial recognition can potentially solve homicides, [...] Unverified source (2026)

My prediction is by the end of 2028, it's more likely than not that we have an AI system where you would be able to say to it: 'Make a better version of yourself.' And it just goes off and does that completely autonomously. [...] What I'm looking at ... more Unverified source (2026)

Until some company or scientist says ‘Here’s the proof! We can definitely have a safety mechanism that can scale to any level of intelligence,’ I don’t think we should be developing those general superintelligences. We can get most of the benefits w... more Unverified source (2024)

For the last-invention story to hold, people would have to become unnecessary even as partners or supervisors to AIs. [...] We would need a world where practical know-how is fully transferable through digital channels and where responsibility can be ... more Unverified source (2026)

When the companies whose models are being reviewed help design the review, that is not oversight, it is theater. Unverified source (2026)

Finally, it’s not clear how well some of the act’s provisions reflect the current state of the AI ecosystem. The act demands that labs hire an independent third party to complete an annual audit of their protocols to ensure compliance with the act. T... more AI Verified source (2025)

The simplest form of treaty would be something like this: countries agree that if they do develop advanced AI, it will be done in a safe way; that they wouldn't use their advanced AI to dominate others — that includes economically, but of course poli... more Unverified source (2026)

The question that people are debating is whether it makes sense to regulate research and development of AI. And I don't think it does. Unverified source (2023)
