Surprise! Company says that its product is safe.

Yeah, I mean, put it that way, it doesn't sound great. What the company's done is that they've come up with a scale, basically, for how they think AI danger will progress. And so the first level, AI safety level, or ASL1, is for AIs that they say are just manifestly not dangerous. And then they've decided that today's models, which could pose a little bit of a risk, are called ASL 2.

And then the next step, the one that they're looking for currently, is ASL 3. And they've been refining their definition of what that could mean. Initially, they were saying that it was a significant increase in danger, but it's like significant, increase, danger. How do you define all of those words? And so they've added new criteria to that definition.

They just added that in October to make it a little bit more specific. And, you know, 4 is when there's a real significant increase. They haven't really defined what that would be, ASL 4, yet.

I mean, yeah, there are people who say, you know, the incentives here aren't perfect, that, you know, there's a race going on. And if these companies are grading their own homework, I mean, that's a Right now, we haven't had the tough call, right? But like what happens when there's a decision you have to make that is going to cost these companies money, right? Right. Like that's a tough one.

And I think, you know, until it comes, it's like you don't know how a company is going to react. You know, these people who do testing say they believe that this is all in good faith. But like it hasn't really been tested yet.

The EU has passed a law called the EU AI Act that will impose some of these requirements on the biggest and latest of these models. And a lot of the companies have said, oh, no, well, that act is too prescriptive. So, you know, companies obviously are always going to be a little ambivalent about regulating them.

Their concern is, will they be ready in time? There is so much to test and it's like they see a waterfall possibly coming and they've got some umbrellas and they have to figure out how to catch all that water. We don't really yet know what we're going to do about this stuff. It is the kind of thing that's like coming up fast and maybe it's not a problem, right? But if it is, are we ready for it?
