Expert opinions on Public Interest AI

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.

[Google's AI Overviews are] the defendant's own statements [...] it alone has influence over the AI's offering and the algorithms with which the AI operates.

We support approaches like this because they focus on what matters most: Reducing the risk of serious harm from the most advanced AI systems while still allowing this technology to get into the hands of the people and businesses — small and big — of ...

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...

In the AI era, it should be easier than ever for people to build new businesses. [...] This is important for ensuring that people broadly share in the prosperity created by superintelligence.

Technologies that could free us from drudgery, poverty and environmental collapse instead make life worse for most people in most countries.

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.

[I propose a D7 of democratic middle powers — Australia, Canada, the EU, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and the UK — including] a Democratic Technology Initiative to shape standards, align export controls and invest jointly in AI, quantum and space.

We want to make sure that the world uses the American AI stack. [...] We also want the world to use our AI model. We want all our allies, including India, to leverage our AI infrastructure.

Cross-border AI incident infrastructure: institutional, technical, and legal arrangements that would allow national and international authorities to detect, share, and act on AI incidents and hazards together across borders. [...] Governments and ind...

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...

To mitigate the “race to God-like AI,” Ian Hogarth—chair of the U.K. AI Safety Institute—proposed an “Island model,” in which a joint international lab performs research on superintelligence in a highly secure facility. An essential part of this pro...

So the the prototypical situation I'm imagining here is you know there's a kind of one ai project, which is you know somewhat ahead of the others, and maybe it it goes through intelligence explosion, whereas which by which I mean kind of AI can autom...

You can't understand whether these AI systems are good or bad, safe or harmful, if you don't know what's in them. We need transparency. [...] We need to invest in far healthier and more vibrant AI ecosystems where academia and the community can produ...
