Can policy keep up with AI advances? | OpenAI's Amanda Askell, Miles Brundage, & Jack Clark (2019)
Originally released March 2019. OpenAI policy director Jack Clark is joined by his colleagues Amanda Askell and Miles Brundage on the day they released their fascinating and controversial large general language model GPT-2.
We discuss:
• What are the most significant changes in the AI policy world over the last year or two?
• How much is the field of AI policy still in the phase of just doing research and figuring out what • should be done, versus actually trying to change things in the real world?
• What capabilities are likely to develop over the next five, 10, 15, 20 years?
• How much should we focus on the next couple of years, versus the next couple of decades?
• How should we approach possible malicious uses of AI?
• What are some of the potential ways OpenAI could make things worse, and how can they be avoided?
• Publication norms for AI research
• Where do we stand in terms of arms races between countries or different AI labs?
• The case for creating a newsletter
• Should the AI community have a closer relationship to the military?
• Working at OpenAI vs. working in the US government
• How valuable is Twitter in the AI policy world?
Rob is then joined by two of his colleagues — Niel Bowerman and Michelle Hutchinson — to quickly discuss:
• The reaction to OpenAI’s release of GPT-2
• Jack’s critique of our US AI policy article
• How valuable are roles in government?
• Where do you start if you want to write content for a specific audience?
