As this glorious Earth is being celebrated while simultaneously being destroyed on the back end of it, I thought it would be appropriate not to worry about Iran, not to worry about climate change, but to worry about a third existential threat, which ...

So when people predict a high degree of existential risk from AGI, I don’t actually think “arguing back” on their chosen terms is the correct response. Radical agnosticism is the correct response, where all specific scenarios are pretty unlikely. Non...

Those extreme risks are still science fiction. So these speeches are largely diversions, very deliberately crafted.

People should not wake up to discover their face has become raw material for someone else's AI experiment.

A handful of bills introduced this year seek to categorically ban “deepfakes.” In other words, these bills would make it unlawful to create or share AI-generated content depicting someone saying or doing something that the person did not in reality s...

The AI revolution will generate enough wealth for everyone.

AI could make goods and services cheaper than ever, raising hopes for a new age of abundance where scarcity plays a smaller role in human life.

I think 'post-scarcity' is a kind of nonsense term, and people should think of it as temporary abundance that will soon be eaten by whatever growth manages to reproduce the fastest. And whatever the formula is for giving out UBI, machines are going t...

Policymakers should require the most capable frontier models to undergo a CAISI evaluation before public release. These evaluations should assess frontier capabilities, the effectiveness of associated safeguards and mitigations, and the resulting ris...

However, it is important to differentiate regulating applications (which we need) vs. regulating the technology (which is ill-advised).

Legislate a Digital Duty of Care that puts the onus on AI companies to build in safety by design and proactively address potential harm.

Existing legal principles, such as under tort and contract law, can be applied by our courts to assess and determine liability in appropriate cases. That being said, we share the concerns raised by the Member, and will continue to study this issue, i...

States should not be permitted to penalize AI developers for a third party’s unlawful conduct involving their models.

As this digital revolution progresses, the job economy is changing, but the mantra that AI is taking our jobs is simply not correct.

This is the most important unknown. Some studies argue that employment is increasing, while others suggest it’s falling; there’s no consensus among experts.

Seize the potential of AI and use it as a superpower for positive transformation and creation or surrender to it and sit back and watch as it becomes a weapon of mass destruction of jobs.

Our inaugural meeting will focus on where this group is uniquely positioned to act together: strengthening AI infrastructure, accelerating AI's impact on health, education, food security and disaster response, and ensuring trust and safety.

The time has come for a more systematic approach to AI regulation — funded by the industry, staffed by world-class technical experts, and answerable to the U.S. government.

The findings suggest that workers who lose out from AI advancement could benefit from having a safety net that helps them share consumption gains with AI-using workers.

The platform empowers business stakeholders, not just technical teams, to participate directly in validating AI systems. Subject matter experts can define evaluation criteria, review outputs, assess contextual quality, and contribute to governance pr...

It is very clear that we have moved from a human-led defense strategy, to a human-in-the-loop defense strategy, to an AI-led defense strategy that’s overseen by humans. Our model for the future is an agentic fleet that does a lot of the routine cyber...

implementation of explainable AI methods to ensure the AI systems are interpretable, explainable and understandable.

We have a very natural instinct to say: we want as much interpretability as possible. One of the sci-fi worry cases is that agents start speaking in languages to each other that we don't understand. [...] I bet there are ways to define boundaries tha...

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

No company should use Australian creative works to train AI without the artist’s control.

Restricting access to training data, whether through mandatory compensation, expanded opt-out rights, or onerous compliance requirements, can have the effect of restricting AI development itself.

Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly critical role in strengthening our national defense, but it should never be the one making life-or-death decisions.

The Government strongly believes that there is a need to maintain meaningful human control of all weapons systems, including any systems that may be developed. Our position is that, for such systems to comply with international humanitarian law, cont...

I believe there is a better and more pragmatic way to constrain human rights abuses than to ban lethal autonomy; it is to hold the responsible people accountable, regardless of the tools they employ.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) development is currently outpacing public deliberation, allowing democratic oversight to slip as power concentrates in the private sector.

We cannot advance AI innovation and adoption without trust, and trust is earned through more transparency, independent evaluation, and clear mechanisms for accountability.

SB 315 would require third-party audits of AI systems, but a sufficient market of qualified auditors does not yet exist. Companies could face significant compliance risk because the vendors needed to meet the bill are not widely available. In additio...

Systems must show their reasoning so human review is genuine, not performative.

Hence, under the overarching ambit of the National AI Council and together with tripartite partners, we are studying the use of AI tools by businesses and its impact on employment, before deciding the most appropriate approach for Singapore.

The requirement of human review is one of the most burdensome compliance elements for employers, particularly in comparison to states that allow alternative processes rather than human review.
