The simplest form of treaty would be something like this, that the countries agree that if they do develop advanced AI: * That it will be done in a safe way. So maybe using techniques like Scientist AI or whatever else we have strong assurances for. ...

If somebody says, 'This technology is so powerful that we need a global treaty to slow it down,' then I would say: Then take your foot off the accelerator yourself if you think it's moving too fast.

The United States is once again demonstrating what we Liberals and Democrats have warned about so many times since Trump entered into office; that the US holds a real 'kill-switch' over essential technologies and that they are more than willing to us...

Governments are on track to spend more than $1 trillion by 2030 chasing a sovereign stack, the full range of hardware and capabilities necessary to deploy and operate AI infrastructure. [...] In an interdependent system, the question shifts from how ...

AI has gone from "dumber than a child" to "expert level" in a few years in many domains. The gap between "expert level" and "above top geniuses" is smaller, so we expect it to take less time. This has been a pattern in fields like chess and Go, where...

The concept of superintelligence is built on a flawed premise. The idea is that once you have an intelligence that is as good or better than humans — in other words, AGI — then that intelligence can improve itself, leading to a runaway effect. This i...

It would create a sovereign wealth fund through a one-time 50 percent tax — not on the profits of OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and other companies, but paid with something far more valuable than that: the stock. [...] the billions, if not trillions, of dol...

This is extremely dangerous. [...] Because, by promoting in the American public the idea that we all have a direct stake in the economic success of these companies, a sovereign wealth fund encourages everyone to think not as citizens, but as investor...

While we would applaud any serious effort to regulate potentially dangerous AI technologies, any attempt to tie the hands of states in their efforts to keep working people safe is not acceptable. We oppose preemption of state authority to regulate th...

Instead of pushing AI amnesty, President Trump rightfully called on Congress to pass federal standards and protections to solve the patchwork of state laws that has hindered AI innovation. Now, Congress must answer his call to establish one federal r...

Today, we announced the first-in-the-nation state-led lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman. OpenAI and Altman ignored internal and external safety warnings, put children at great risk, and allowed a dangerous product to reach millions of Fl...

Putting liability on users feels most incentive-compatible. While the link between how a model is developed and how it ends up being used is often unclear, the user decides exactly how the AI is used. Liability on users creates a strong pressure to d...

People talk about AI reducing jobs — complete nonsense. It’s causing more software engineers to be hired, and the reason for that is very simple. [...] If you can hire a software engineer and you could generate $9 trillion worth of productive work, w...

the evidence on how AI is affecting the labor market today is inconclusive, and claims about harmful impacts on particular groups of workers are premature.

I believe that millions of white-collar workers are going to lose their jobs in the next 12 to 18 months due to AI. [...] AI is now able to do the work of a very, very smart human in minutes or even seconds. This is going to displace marketers, coder...

Some AI leaders say foundational AI models are general-purpose tools, not arbiters of values. More reason that neither profit-motivated technology companies nor politically-motivated governments can be left to determine society’s AI moral compass. Pu...

It is not permissible to entrust lethal or otherwise irreversible decisions to artificial systems. No algorithm can make war morally acceptable.

Personal view: I admire @AnthropicAI sticking by their principles but disagree with the principle itself. Putin won't fight fair so we should have autonomous AI weapons for sure.

We must also keep a watchful eye on the development and application of artificial intelligence in both military and civilian contexts, to ensure that they do not absolve humans of responsibility for their choices and do not exacerbate the tragedy of ...

For governments to allow private entities to essentially play Russian roulette with every human being on earth is, in my view, a total dereliction of duty. [...] Each of the CEOs of the main AI companies, I believe, wants to disarm, Russell said, but...

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...

There is nothing qualitatively different between the previous technological revolutions and this one, [...] It's just another set of tools that makes us more efficient.

AI leaders keep saying UBI is necessary. This pledge asks them to prove it. [...] We all deserve a share of what it makes possible.

Deepfakes and AI-generated audio and visual content poses major risks to consumers, our elections, and public trust. Clear labeling and transparency of this content must be required so Americans can distinguish what images, audio, and videos are arti...

A media environment with more false and deceptive information is not a good thing for our society, but it is not the government's job to fix it. [...] Let's trust the American people, not the government, to decide for themselves how AI should be used...

The hope is that humans and LLMs fail in distinct ways, and so requiring human + LLM 2-of-2 confirmation to take risky actions (and allowing human override only with much more friction and/or time delay) is much safer than fully relying only on eithe...

Personal view: I admire @AnthropicAI sticking by their principles but disagree with the principle itself. Putin won't fight fair so we should have autonomous AI weapons for sure.

Do you have to listen to the people's political power if you don't get your tax revenue from the people anymore, you get it from AI companies? And if companies - you can't use your bargaining power. You can't, like, withdraw your labor like a labor u...
