Practical AI Safety Mechanisms
- Implement practical mechanisms like third-party audits and bias bounties to ensure AI safety.
- These methods, common in security, offer concrete steps beyond ethical statements.
Impact of AI Safety Mechanisms
- While valuable, the proposed AI safety mechanisms may not be enough to create significant change.
- Their effectiveness depends on actual implementation and broader adoption.
Overblown AI Claims
- Overblown claims about AI's capabilities, like those around Cambridge Analytica and self-driving cars, necessitate better auditing.
- Such auditing would clarify AI systems' true capabilities and limitations.
