Companies should uphold their commitments in AI development and seek proper approval for testing new models. Maintaining transparency and accountability is crucial in ensuring safety and progress in AI technology. The idea of smearing out rapid capability gains over a longer period to avoid sudden advancements in AGI development is essential to control the transition from pre-AGI to post-AGI efficiently.
This week, we host a cultural exchange. Kevin and Casey show off their Canadian paraphernalia to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and he shows off what he’s doing to position Canada as a leader in A.I. Then, the OpenAI whistle-blower Daniel Kokotajlo speaks in one of his first public interviews about why he risked almost $2 million in equity to warn of what he calls the reckless culture inside that company.
Guests:
- Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
- Daniel Kokotajlo, a former researcher in OpenAI’s governance division
