AI safety is no longer mainly a model issue, but rather a system and deployment issue. Governance has to extend beyond the model lifecycle into system design and management. 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 Unverified source (2025)

It's truly unprecedented the mismatch between how strategically important this technology is and how little involvement government has in developing it. [...] I think it is very important that the U.S. AI sector remains ahead of the Chinese AI sector... more Unverified source (2026)

A [central] problem with regulating frontier AI models is that a new feature emerges in these systems that is not tested, testable. [...] As long as you have this new emergent power, you have deep reasoning, deep capabilities, and they will make mist... more Unverified source (2026)

After Anthropic said, we don't want to support mass domestic surveillance of Americans and we don't want to support autonomous weapons, you'll notice that Sam Altman jumped right in and said, we'll sell ChatGPT to the government to do both of those t... more Unverified source (2026)

To the second part of your question, I am strongly in favor of discussions internationally about things like norms. I think with this point, it would be counterproductive to have outright bans on things that people don't even fully understand what th... more Unverified source (2019)

[AI agents] basically means [they have] access to data and can act independently based on that data. They need access to your calendar, access to your credit card, access to your Signal, bringing that all back into a shared context window where you h... more 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)

The impact of this technology will be shaped, not just by the capabilities as they advance, but also the choices that we make, and those choices will help us pursue a vision that the benefits of the technology can be broadly felt, and whatever transi... more Unverified source (2026)

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

With a vastly more productive economy, but much less demand for labor, society would have to rethink the social safety net to ensure that the gains from unprecedented economic growth are shared rather than concentrated among a small group of capital ... more Unverified source (2026)

Capitalism has also depended on somewhat of a power balance between labor and capital, but if it's hard in many of our current jobs to outwork a GPU, then that changes. [...] If there was an easy consensus answer, we'd have done it by now, so I don't... more Unverified source (2026)

I think quality homes in good locations will be extremely valuable. Those could be taxed more. You could call that a wealth tax, but arguably it is closer to a "housing services tax". [...] You could put higher consumption taxes on items the wealthy ... more Unverified source (2026)

This is a flashing red siren for anyone who cares about keeping America safe and free. The Trump administration wants to use A.I. to spy on Americans without a warrant and to give A.I. power to make life and death decisions without humans involved. T... more 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)

I'm not a doom and gloomer [about AI's economic impact]. I don't think you're ever going to take the humans out of the picture and AI is going to do everything and we're going to be left working the drive-through window at McDonald's. At the end of t... more 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)

We should be clear-eyed about how painful these changes could be for affected workers and how challenging it would be for the government and the private sector to successfully manage the fallout. [...] AI-centric start-ups with radically new business... more Unverified source (2026)

[...] principles requiring that AI be explicable are misguided. We should be deciding which decisions require explanations. Automation is still an option; Unverified source (2019)

For no more than $100 million a year – a rounding error against a $735 billion budget – Australia could position itself as a world leader in one of the defining industries of this century. [...] A commitment of $100 million a year could position Aust... more Unverified source (2026)

I remain deeply concerned at the lack of progress on the global governance of artificial intelligence. Decision-making on AI's rapid development sits disproportionately within private companies without significant checks and balances. AI risks and sa... 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)

The volume that we're dealing with is one where eventually we do need to switch from this kind of voluntary reporting, to more mandatory form of reporting. [...] The insight you can derive from mandatory reporting is greater than that of this volunta... more Unverified source (2026)

If you have to report to 50 different state regulators at 50 different times with 50 different definitions, it's extremely onerous. And it's going to slow down innovation, and it's going to hinder our progress in the AI race. Unverified source (2025)

We have to be more cautious regarding children's safety. Just as a school syllabus is carefully curated, the AI space too must be child-safe and family-guided. Unverified source (2026)
