The report further suggests that AI companies at the industry's frontier should be required to obtain government permission to train and deploy new models above a certain threshold. It also recommends considering the prohibition of publishing the inner workings of powerful AI models, tightening controls on the manufacture and export of AI chips, and directing federal funding towards research aimed at making advanced AI safer.
Key takeaways:
- The government-commissioned report suggests that current AI development poses an existential risk to humanity.
- The report recommends that the United States should restrict compute on training models and penalize open-sourcing weights with jail time.
- It also suggests that AI companies on the frontier of the industry should obtain government permission to train and deploy new models above a certain threshold.
- The report further recommends tightening controls on the manufacture and export of AI chips, and channeling federal funding towards alignment research to make advanced AI safer.
