We ban AI systems that are too powerful for humans to control.

And as strange as it might seem, despite all the intensity of this rhetoric recently, I still contend that we've moved into a new phase that's all about negotiating the relationship where citizens and governments have a stake in this, and where given that that is now pretty much where everyone is, the next phase is likely to include a lot more specificity, and dare I say nuance.

Glenn Beck, for example, had a long monologue on his show about how he can both have signed the pro-human AI Declaration alongside them, but also disagree with them on specifics of data centers.

And honestly, as crazy as it sounds, I think that the more that the political discourse kind of frags your brain for how confusing and all over the place it is, that might just be a sign that we're actually making progress.

The conversation also found its way into Salesforce's annual Dreamforce event, where the company unveiled.

Build a new AI model, but where a lot of the chatter on social media focused on appearances from Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, and Dario Amade, who each iterated their own safety views.

Dario argued that he was just trying to put forward a set of standards that the industry could organize around.
podcast-host
While Altman said that he was very confident in our company's ability and our industry's ability to do this safely.

Jensen Wong, meanwhile, reiterated the Zuckerbergian view, saying, run as fast as you can, but if you feel at any given point in time the company's out of control or the product's not going to be safe, take a pause and make sure you get it right.

And as for Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff, he believes that every company has a responsibility to uphold ethical standards.

Still, to give the safety debate a bit of a rest, Salesforce also had two big practical AI announcements.
podcast-host
First, they're releasing their first in-house model in quite some time.

Called COA, the model is a fine-tune of Nvidia's Nimotron and is designed to handle sales management within the CRM.

The announcement reinforces the role that open source has to play in the enterprise by enabling

This sort of narrow vertical model.

Secondly, Salesforce unveiled a new initiative called AIFOS.
podcast-host
This will be the umbrella term for Salesforce's connectors that will allow third-party agents to access Salesforce data.
podcast-host
The release reinforces Salesforce commitment to moving towards headless software in a platform agnostic way, allowing any agent to become the interface.
podcast-host
Now obviously these are big conversations that are important and are going to continue, but for now that is where we will close the headlines.

Next up, the main episode.
