Absolutely. I'm surprised you find that noteworthy.
I think it's very important that we:
- slow down AI capabilities research
- fast-track alignment and safety research
- guide the development and integration of transformative ai into society by putting responsible policies in place
It's obvious that ai offers an incredible opportunity for humanity. This could very well be the defining century for our species.
But there are so many ways this can wrong. Even if alignment turns out to be easy, our society is just not ready to cope with the radical changes that transformative ai would bring.
All of these challenges are solvable, but they require a dedicated effort from all involved players. We cannot afford a capabilities race and we cannot afford that just a handful of companies end up as the sole wielders of the most impactful technology to ever exist.
Capabilities cannot come at the cost of safety and we need policymakers to enforce this. Self regulation is not going to solve this for us.
Unfortunately, politicians have been years behind the curve when it comes to technological process. That's not good enough for transformative ai and so we need to get them in the loop now.
So yes, I do want new policies and laws. And I do want people to go into politics and work on policies to help shape this future.
