The development of AI at present is a big race between companies within the U.S. and between the U.S. and China, and that race is gonna lead to superintelligence quite soon. [...] When AI gets smarter than us, it won’t be us that’s making AI smarter;...

Frontier AI companies should rely on evaluators that are meaningfully independent, that maintain full editorial control, and that disclose and mitigate potential conflicts of interest. [...] Frontier AI companies should grant embedded evaluators acce...

We should be careful to construct in a way where we still continue to exist, and we can live in harmony with it. [...] Very few resources are being put into it. Maybe one percent.

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.

When you open source a big model and give people the weights [...] You get people using that open source model and training it, refining it to do something bad like cyberattacks or making biological weapons because it's much easier to refine the mode...

It’s research but only the big companies have the resources to do this research because it’s research on the large cutting edge models. My belief is that government’s the only people who are powerful enough to deal with these large companies and even...

GH: I’m an expert on trying to get the technology to work, not an expert on social policy. One place where I do have technical expertise that’s relevant is [whether] regulators should insist that you can explain how your AI system works. I think that...
