Distributing AI Benefits Without Military Capacity
It is possible to share the advantages of AI globally, including with authoritarian regimes, while withholding military capabilities. This approach emphasizes the necessity of leveraging AI for positive applications, like healthcare and energy efficiency, without compromising security. Companies can provide access to AI models through APIs, allowing for significant economic benefits while ensuring that sensitive military-related functionalities are restricted. This balance is essential for fostering responsible AI development across different governance systems.
