TIME100 AI 2023: Jess Whittlestone

Abstract

Jess Whittlestone, head of AI policy at the Centre for Long-Term Resilience, believes that the extreme risks posed by AI are not being taken seriously enough and that the voluntary commitments made by AI companies to follow responsible development practices are not sufficient. She argues that there is a need for more oversight, accountability, and scrutiny of tech companies, and that a balance needs to be struck between addressing both the near-term and long-term risks posed by AI. – AI-generated abstract.
