We're seeing AI develop extremely rapidly and industry themselves warning about what was coming.
You know, this is after the letter that was signed by so many executives saying that we should treat the risk of extinction from AI equal to global nuclear war and promoting perhaps a pause.
Many of them had signed voluntary commitments with the Biden White House saying, you
you know, we are gonna take certain safety precautions and this is the first step towards binding federal regulation.
And then we saw no binding federal regulation come.
And we'd also heard from companies themselves that they were okay with certain safety standards, but they're in a competitive marketplace.
And that if they see their competitors starting to skimp on safety and cut corners, they would be forced to as well.
So when you hear that call, you say, okay, you should establish some baseline that people can't go below so that there is some established safety standards that everyone is playing by.
There were a few provisions in there.
One was that you had to have a safety plan that you made public and actually stuck to that largely followed best practices in the industry around how you were going to test the models for specific risks, how you're going to record those tests and what you would do with that information.
That you had to report to the government critical safety incidents, which we specifically defined in the bill.
If it goes wrong in these sorts of ways, it may not have harmed anyone yet, but could suggest something is coming.
You have to let us know about it.
And those provisions largely survived till the end.
There were two others that were in the original that ended up getting cut out.
One of them was that you can't release a model if it fails your own safety test, basically designed for the way the tobacco companies operated, where they were the first to know that cigarettes caused cancer, but denied it publicly and continue to release their products or fossil fuel companies that knew oil caused climate change, but denied it.
We're saying if you knew your model was particularly risky, you have to take action on that.
And the last provision was third-party audits, was saying that you can put up whatever standard you want, you can assert that you're going to follow it, but someone else should check your work.
Not the government, but just a different party should come in.
The same way we have financial audits, the same way we have SOC 2 security audits, that another party needs to look at it and say, yes, you are following this.
