Altman, Amodei Call for Global Unity on AI to Boost Safety

If managed poorly. I even believe that I could be a risk to humanity as a whole. I see two main categories of risk. The first is misuse of AI models, for example misuse by bioterrorist to create biological weapons. The second risk is loss of control model capabilities, accelerating beyond developers ability to control them. The trajectory only needs to continue for a tiny period longer 1 or 2 years, maybe less, to reach what I've called a country of geniuses in the data center. We will slow down as much as necessary in order to make sure that every successive AI technology that we release is actually safe. We are at a crossroads. One path leads to a world where power is concentrated. Decisions are opaque, and people feel that the most important technology of their lifetime is something being done to them. The other path leads to a world where I works for people, because people through democratic institutions help decide how it should develop and guide it. If I choose to be democratic, the most important decisions cannot be made by labs in San Francisco alone. They must be shaped through democratic processes and by governments accountable to the people that they serve. We need a mechanism for complementary national and international frontier AI standards, standards for measuring capabilities, assessing risks, determining whether safeguards are sufficient, and preserving meaningful human oversight. As systems become more autonomous in our history. There have been times where countries who compete and don't always like each other very much still come together for shared interests and the collective good in the face of a powerful new technology. We believe this must be one of those times.
