AI safety by the waterfall model. But how else can we do it? We learnt how to handle other dangers by trial and error... One approach is legal. The law is very slow to adapt, and is informed by a history of things gone wrong. The simple answer is that OpenAI has "strict liaility" (meaning they are liable even for an accident) for any damage caused by an AI, like dangerous animals that escape. I know it seems ridiculous to consider liability when the fate of humanity may be at stake... but this is the language of companies, directors, insurance companies and legal counsel. It is language they understand.
