Ahead of deployment, we need more reliable evaluation methods and robust safeguards in order to appropriately test and control AI systems. We need far stronger regulatory oversight to restrict potentially dangerous technologies until we have sufficiently strong safety guarantees. It is clear to me that in cases where harms do arise from the deployment of AI models—and there will continue to be harms for the foreseeable future—we need accountability mechanisms for AI developers and remedial or compensatory measures for those harmed.
