Best practices in AI development?

About that.

From American Public Media, this is Marketplace Tech.

It's been about eight months since Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and other prominent names

in tech signed an open letter, released by the Future of Life Institute, calling for

The gist was that the risks of advanced AI are too great that we don't understand them

enough to keep tinkering with the technology without proper policies in place.

While that pause did not happen, there has been some movement on the policy front, most

notably President Biden's executive order earlier this week to establish standards around

the safety and security of AI.

But for some researchers, the core concerns that led to the AI pause letter still exist,

and there's not much agreement on how to address them.

It's an issue that Jonas Shute, a research fellow at the Center for the Governance of

AI, hopes a recent paper he co-authored can help solve.

Many people worry that the next generation of these frontier AI models might have certain

dangerous capabilities.

But then the question is, what should developers like OpenAI do if they realize that the model

that developing might actually be really dangerous?

And so the obvious response then is they should stop the development process, not release
