Comment by Lord Markham

Conservative member of the UK House of Lords; supports strong AI safety monitoring, alignment checks, and kill-switch research.
A heavy investment in monitoring the programming, opening up the models, checking that they really are aligned—there probably is no limit to the resources we should be putting into that, and into investigations into whether we can put kill switches into these things. If we do find a way to do it, then let us offer that to the world, because it has to be in our interests that everyone who is developing this has access to a kill switch.
