Reasonable AI Policy

AI will transform our world. Along with great promise, it also poses a real risk of catastrophic harms. We are exploring how best to guard against these outcomes by preventing the training and deployment of dangerously capable systems until we know how to robustly align them with human values.

In the short and medium term, this might look like a focus on the possession, collection and usage of high end AI-focused computer chips and data centers. Done correctly this can avoid stifling our ability to enjoy the gains from innovation or violating expectations of privacy. However, the wrong regulations, or ones that are poorly targeted, could either cripple the existing industry or be captured to protect insiders, without providing protection from extinction risks.

Please note that this topic introduction is preliminary, and more details as well as policy proposals, academic studies, data, model legislation, and other resources on this issue are forthcoming. We share this overview now to provide initial context and give readers a sense of our current perspective and approach to the issue.
