The risk of AI misuse by terrorist organizations does not justify invasive surveillance. Sacrificing our privacy and freedoms in the name of security sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the very values we aim to protect. Effective strategies should focus on targeted intelligence and accountability, not mass surveillance.

I strongly agree that AI systems, particularly those with significant capabilities, need to have interpretable decision-making processes. Transparency is crucial to holding these systems accountable and ensuring they do not infringe upon privacy or civil liberties. Without understanding how decisions are made, we risk creating a black box that can be exploited or used maliciously.

As someone who deeply values the importance of safeguarding our future against potential threats, I believe that frontier AI labs should contribute to a global AI safety fund. These technologies can profoundly impact privacy and security. Ensuring their responsible development is paramount.
