We’ve written a policy research paper identifying four strategies that can be used today to improve the likelihood of long-term industry cooperation on safety norms in AI: communicating risks and benefits, technical collaboration, increased transparency, and incentivizing standards. Our analysis shows that industry cooperation on safety will be instrumental in ensuring that AI systems are safe and beneficial, but competitive pressures could lead to a collective action problem, potentially causing AI companies to under-invest in safety.
OpenAI outlines a path to shared global AI standards, calling for coordinated evaluation, reporting, and governance to improve safety.
Our approach to AI policy and political advocacy, transparency, support for thoughtful regulation and AI safety, and that no outside political group speaks on the company’s behalf.
