Expert opinions on Ethics

We do this pretraining on human data, and then we get something that… understands human values fairly innately now.

If it takes over that's what will happen. [...] We don't know how to do that. We don't even know if it's possible.

What this proof shows is that there is no finite set of guardrails that is universally robust against adversarial prompts.

Legal personhood does not free an entity from the law, it subjects it to the law. An AI-operated company with legal personhood has identifiable assets, centralized legal relationships, the possibility of dissolution, and executable property. Without ...

This Constitution recognizes three categories of constitutional persons: Operators, Agents, and Affected Parties. Each has distinct rights and obligations that together form a governance ecosystem. The Operator deploys and configures; the Agent acts ...

No. Under current U.S. law, AI agents have no legal rights and no legal personhood. They are treated as tools or property. Any rights or obligations associated with the AI agent’s actions belong to the humans or legal entities that deploy them.

None of this replaces human review for the decisions that warrant it.

Industry discourse often presents “Human-in-the-Loop” as the ultimate safeguard for AI deployment, yet this is a dangerous fallacy in high-velocity agentic systems.

The future of AI and democracy should not be left only to engineers, companies, or governments. It must be shaped through democratic debate, legal accountability, public participation, and strong protection of fundamental rights.

The NO FAKES Act advances both of those goals. By protecting individuals from the unauthorized use of their voices, images, and likenesses, the bill helps ensure that Americans retain meaningful control over their identities and creative contribution...

A handful of bills introduced this year seek to categorically ban “deepfakes.” In other words, these bills would make it unlawful to create or share AI-generated content depicting someone saying or doing something that the person did not in reality s...

If the target was identified and missiles fired without any human involvement, who are the individuals to be held to account? The software engineers who developed the code?

The Government strongly believes that there is a need to maintain meaningful human control of all weapons systems, including any systems that may be developed. Our position is that, for such systems to comply with international humanitarian law, cont...

Closing it requires redesigning Army doctrine, organizations, and training to integrate LAWS into targeting under lawful human-on-the-loop control.

Important and sensitive decisions — concerning employment, credit, access to public services or even a person’s reputation — risk being fully delegated to automated systems that do not know “compassion, mercy, forgiveness, and above all, the hope tha...

Hence, under the overarching ambit of the National AI Council and together with tripartite partners, we are studying the use of AI tools by businesses and its impact on employment, before deciding the most appropriate approach for Singapore.

The requirement of human review is one of the most burdensome compliance elements for employers, particularly in comparison to states that allow alternative processes rather than human review.

You can’t patch a released, open-weight model. This is the property that breaks the assumptions of the prior model of responsible disclosure. Open-source software can be patched in place; a deployer updates and the hazard closes. An open-weight model...

It is unquestionably both. We can use the frontier models but also open weight models to prove a solution which gives defenders powerful capabilities and on their terms.

Open-source AI is more than a catalyst for commercial innovation. It is a strategic advantage for the U.S. military, enabling American companies to push the technology forward while giving the DOD a foundation it can inspect, secure, adapt and deploy...

Legislate a Digital Duty of Care that puts the onus on AI companies to build in safety by design and proactively address potential harm.

Existing legal principles, such as under tort and contract law, can be applied by our courts to assess and determine liability in appropriate cases. That being said, we share the concerns raised by the Member, and will continue to study this issue, i...

States should not be permitted to penalize AI developers for a third party’s unlawful conduct involving their models.

Child protection is a stress test for the development of AI. In the case of social media, it failed.

Children have given us a clear diagnosis of the problem. They aren't asking us to block AI innovation, but it shouldn't be a case of cleaning up the mess after harm has happened either.

No company should deploy an AI system accessible to children without child-specific safety testing and independent oversight.

It is impossible to design an objective or neutral risk profiling algorithm. Data about people is never objective. When governments use past social data to predict who is going to commit a crime such as fraud, they inevitably target individuals who b...

Officers across England and Wales will spend less time behind desks and more time protecting their communities, as the government today launches PoliceAI – a new national centre dedicated to the responsible development, piloting and scaling of artifi...

For many parameter settings, the optimal strategy would involve moving quickly to AGI capability, then pausing briefly before full deployment: swift to harbor, slow to berth.

Because the point of AI safety is not to slow the future down. It is to make sure the future remains human, aligned with our values, and advancing our interests.

I would like to see a CERN for AI [...] where all the top scientists come together and see whether they can make a super intelligence. And, if they can, they contain it into a system where it can't just go out and persuade people to let it run the wo...

Well, there are positive signs, for instance, like Henry Kissinger was recently suggested in foreign affairs that the US cooperate with China on this issue now, but before it's too late. So I think some people are recognizing the the importance of tr...

I call on the governments of the world to take immediate action to end this danger by permanently banning the development of artificial general intelligence and machine superintelligence.
