Expert opinions on AI Policy

Small businesses are the foundation of our economy and AI has the potential to help them maximize opportunities.

It is not permissible to entrust lethal or otherwise irreversible decisions to artificial systems. [...] The decision to use lethal force cannot be delegated to opaque or automated processes, but must remain under effective, self-aware and responsibl...

At first, lethal autonomous weapons systems that cannot guarantee use in conformity with international humanitarian law — that is, systems that are intrinsically indiscriminate; systems whose effects cannot be limited, anticipated and controlled; sys...

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.

SB 315 takes the safety practices leading labs already follow voluntarily—publishing a safety framework, transparent reporting, protecting whistleblowers—and helps establish a baseline that every leading AI developer is expected to meet. [...] Illino...

Rather than allow protections to exist in only a handful of states or force innovators to navigate dozens of different legal regimes, our framework would establish one national standard.

We are approaching a runaway to superintelligence that could threaten our shared human future. Both publicly and privately, AI companies are recognizing that a pause or slowdown in certain developmental pathways is crucial to protect lives and liveli...

the mechanisms most needed for treaty verification [...] are also the least mature.

Signs you might be trying to get your frontier AI lab nationalized: You compare it to nukes… threaten half of white-collar jobs… warn recursive self-improvement could end humanity… then race ahead anyway. In other words, you want the government to sa...

La protección de los menores en internet y la regulación de la IA constituyen un asunto de primer orden.

Members of the Socialist Party, theoretically today you come to tell us that artificial intelligence must be regulated, and you associate it with the most vulnerable people. [...] Look: what you propose already exists. The Artificial Intelligence Act...

Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.

The momentum is on the side of people who want to nationalize them [the major AI companies].

AI is reshaping public services, democratic institutions and everyday life at a pace that has outrun meaningful public input. The Data and AI Exchange was designed to show that when stakeholders are given the time and structure to deliberate seriousl...

I definitely don't think we should align it to a specific philosophical theory that is not really robust for the real world, but actually getting public input for a lot of topics is very difficult because the public has not had the time to think abou...

Federal laws should outline penalties specific to the severity of using deepfakes and election disinformation crimes, as the State of Minnesota has done.

One very, very good deepfake video could make a candidate look horrible [...] Do we need to be arresting people? I don’t really know yet [...]

This bill doesn't meet that bar. It restricts far more speech than necessary to prevent voters from being deceived in ways that would have any effect on an election, and there are other ways to address deepfakes that would burden much less speech.

We need to take heed when the leaders in this field say that there need to be safety precautions taken with this rapidly developing technology. The RAISE Act will ensure there are protocols in place in the event of a major security risk and help New ...

If you have to report to 50 different state regulators at 50 different times with 50 different definitions, it's extremely onerous. And it's going to slow down innovation, and it's going to hinder our progress in the AI race.

There is AI that is not responding to instructions, to commands, and there are documented cases of that. [...] If we don't consider ways to manage what we know is occurring already, and there is use of autonomous weapons already, if we are not lookin...

My own view, after talking with colleagues in the AI Security Institute and the Alan Turing Institute, is that a moratorium would be unenforceable. Instead, I support the proposal made this week by the noble Baroness, Lady Harding, to set up a commis...

AI is further blurring the line between robocalls and live scams. Criminals can now use AI-generated voices that pause, laugh, and respond in real time. These tools are cheap, scalable, and increasingly convincing.

AI is not a panacea to our robocall problem nor has it been the cause of most of our fraud problems thus far.

The biggest problem is that not only do they have nondisclosure agreements, they also have a mandatory arbitration clause, which means disputes never see the light of day.

Connecticut already has strong whistleblower laws that protect employees from retaliation. [...] creating a separate, AI-specific whistleblower regime could lead to confusion, duplication, and unintended consequences for employers operating in highly...

We will end up in a very concentrated world where there's like one to five giant networks of data centres owned by one to five companies, possibly in coordination with their governments. [...] If you've only got one to five companies and they each ha...

The market believes that there are going to be high returns to these investments. That is predicated on two assumptions: that AI will be technologically successful and that there will be limited competition. [...] if it's technologically successful, ...

Our vision is personal superintelligence. AI that knows you, your goals, your interests, and helps you with whatever you're focused on doing. It serves you, whoever you are, wherever you are.

This is going to be the most productive decade in the history of our species. But in order to truly reap the benefits of AI, we need to learn how to contain it. Paradoxically, part of that will mean collectively saying no to certain forms of progress...

This scale is unnecessary. You do not need this scale of AI and compute to realize the benefits. Indeed, if we really want AI to be broadly beneficial, we urgently need to shift away from this approach. [...] The kinds of AI systems that dominate our...

Large frontier developers should annually retain an independent third party to audit compliance with frontier safety requirements.

Illinois SB 315's mandatory third-party AI audit requirement creates an impossible compliance burden — there are no recognized auditing standards, certified auditors or established methodologies for frontier model safety audits. [...] Companies canno...
