Soft Nationalization: How the US Government Will Control AI Labs
Effective Altruism Forum, August 27, 2024
Abstract
Crossposted to LessWrong. We have yet to see anyone describe a critical element of effective AI safety planning: a realistic model of the upcoming role the US government will play in controlling frontier AI. The rapid development of AI will lead to increasing national security concerns, which will in turn pressure the US to progressively take action to control frontier AI development. This process has already begun,[1] and it will only escalate as frontier capabilities advance.
