Many of the risks and worries associated with generative AI are ultimately consequences of this opacity, and would be much easier to address if the models were interpretable. [...] governments can use light-touch rules to encourage the development of interpretability research and its application to addressing problems with frontier AI models. Given how nascent and undeveloped the practice of ‘AI MRI’ is, it should be clear why it doesn’t make sense to regulate or mandate that companies conduct them, at least at this stage: it’s not even clear what a prospective law should ask companies to do. source Verified
