OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is worried about the emergence of a ‘superintelligent’ AI - perhaps even an AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, that will be far smarter than humans. So, this week they published a memo sketching out how that risk might be managed. They’re proposing governance that looks like the international regime for nuclear energy, the IAEA. This will regulate who does what research (perhaps by international treaty, it’s not clear) and then monitor compliance. Alas, there are some big, I think insurmountable, problems with their proposal. [...] Back to the idea of international regulation. If only we could get all governments agree to regulation along OpenAI’s lines… Fat chance. AI Unverifiable source (2023)

Verification History

AI Unverifiable Source URL (Kenneth Payne's Substack post 'IAEA for AI? That won't fly', 2023) returns HTTP 403 when fetched. Web search confirms the post exists with this title and content: Payne critiques OpenAI's IAEA-style superintelligence governance proposal as having insurmountable problems and explicitly opposes a UN-style regulator for AI. Vote (Against 'Establish a UN-led body to oversee compute-intensive AI') correctly aligns. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol because I cannot directly fetch the source page. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
