.@hlntnr discusses with @Bloomberg approaches to the U.S.-China #AI relationship.

.@SamBresnick spoke to @arstechnica about the proposed #AI safety notification system between the U.S. and China. He noted that the lack of a body of tech experts monitoring the channel could limit its effectiveness. “If both sides had tech experts, the US and China could have really high-level conversations about how they’re assessing risk. That’s particularly important when discussing military risks,” Bresnick emphasized.

Jessica Ji joined @ABC to discuss concerns in light of the Google Gemini hacks.

“To determine whether the Trump-Xi summit is fruitful, we can look for two key pieces of groundwork for future talks. Do Trump and Xi select consistent interlocutors to continue discussions at the working level, and can they identify concrete challenges related to AI that both sides want to tackle?” writes @hlntnr in her comments for @ChinaFile.

.@hlntnr calls for a National Transportation Safety Board for AI in a @nytimes piece: “There’s little settled science about how A.I. works and how to ensure it’s safe, so it’s nearly impossible to set regulatory standards for what exactly A.I. developers need to do. In a situation like this, we need to understand the shape of the problem even as we work to solve it. One place to start would be with an empowered, technically capable body for receiving and investigating reports of serious A.I. incidents. A National Transportation Safety Board for A.I., if you will. The N.T.S.B. is a remarkable government entity. It has no regulatory authority and no enforcement power, but it has large and long-lasting effects on how U.S. planes, trains and automobiles are built and operated. Given the job of investigating every civil aviation accident in the United States, it carries out detailed, blame-free investigations of what happened, why it happened and what would need to change in the future to prevent similar incidents. Crucially, these public post-mortems make it possible for other companies, independent experts and governments to learn as much as possible from each case.”
