It's a real challenge.
That isn't where I'm putting my energy because I want to get the scientist AI out of the door as quickly as possible.
But I think it should be a priority for people in AI safety working in the companies or in academia to think about how to do these experiments so that they will be convincing.
And by the way, the more capable the AIs become...
Maybe the easier this task is going to become.
Please don't use an untrusted AI system to design the next generation of AI systems.
This is the most crazy dangerous bet that unfortunately we are on track to do.
And keep in mind that as is now scientifically clear, these systems are likely to know that they are being tested.
So you might think that AI is honest.
You might think that the AI is not deceptive.
You might think that the AI is aligned, but maybe it's just pretending.
And it's going to be very, very difficult to know.
And we should do our best to try to figure it out.
But we should put the bar really, really high before we allow an AI to design the next version of AI in terms of are we sure it's not being deceptive?
Well, there's a connection between the technical safety work and the policy safety work in the sense that if we can demonstrate the existence of AI systems that would be competitive, capable, and safe, it's going to be easier for government to impose the requirement.
Oh, you have to show that your AI system is going to be safe in a way that independent scientists will say, yeah.
Right now, a lot of the governments are focusing on economic competition driven by AI, and that makes them also blind to the risks.
So that's where the technical safety can help.
It's going to be easier to say, oh, we can have both safety and competitivity.
On the pure policy side, I think the biggest challenge right now is how do we get countries to agree with each other in spite of the competition, including very strong distrust and disagreements on the political foundation.
