Ok, I’m just gonna say it.
This is all contingent on China agreeing to anything.
And at this point, unless I’m missing something, reading this article is quite distasteful to even show up at the table to discuss anything.
If China won’t stop, the world will follow.
Writing like this isn’t the best was to start that conversation.
This is simply an article of fear of our future and frustration that China is doing a great job getting around their systems.
If this is truly a world problem, please, be inclusive versus outwardly bias towards democratic counties (seriously?) and your China problems at home.
Here’s the real challenge:
1. The world and its economics is not ready for AI
2. China is the best country at excelling existing technology, by not only making them amazing but by implementing them into society.
AI has already been invented and as stated “self improving”.
There is no slowing down. Improve your countries by investing in your people, your systems and prepare every aspect of society for change.
Otherwise, prepare to become the new golden standard of a 4th world country.
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.
