- Indeed, that’s probably the overhang that matters most of all: competition. Anthropic is fine with Anthropic being in the lead; anyone else requires government intervention.
- If American businesses keep buying and American voters hate it, this will end up settled in the political arena.
- Fixing these bugs and putting in place improved monitoring would be appropriate fixes, not pausing AI.

- An absolute moratorium on AI development by the well-intentioned shifts technological power toward less accountable hands, giving bad actors and hostile nations, like China, greater influence over systems Americans will increasingly depend on.
- As AI technology accelerates development and economic precarity increases, the decisions we make in the next 36 months are crucial; we are setting a course that will determine the winners and losers, both domestically and internationally.
- Every quote from Reid Hoffman
- Remember that ‘they will probably say no’ is not a good argument for not trying, even if you are right that the odds are not so great.

- This outcome is not inevitable, and it can be corrected with effective governance and a different training framework for AI.
- Here is the question nobody is asking clearly enough: should a handful of select, market-dominant AI companies from Silicon Valley get to define the rules and safety standards of a generational technology for the entire world?

- Once again using fear under the pretext of protecting the public, these oligopolies are now requesting to bend competition rules and be permitted to dictate the terms for everyone else.
- The problem is that there is a list at all, when the decisions being made reach every company, every government, and every citizen who never got asked.
- Every quote from Aidan Gomez
- No government or enterprise should have to choose between capable AI and control over their technology...
- This is one of many reasons why I think it’s unwise to lock in some kind of regulatory safety regime right now. We simply don’t know what kind of technology we’re going to be looking at even in a year, let alone in five years or ten years, and we’d be entrenching an archaic and potentially counterproductive approach to dealing with the threats from AI.
- Open models lack the central economic champion to represent the potential downside of action against them.

- The easiest algorithm I have for this is to ask if some new technology will be used by the government alone before it is approved or neutered for use by everyone else. If that is the case then history tells us the technology is being used for control or even oppression first and foremost.
- Every quote from Steven Sinofsky
- But its broader significance is that it proves beyond doubt that AI models are now tools of global and national strategic consequence.

- I therefore believe we should model AI regulation on agencies like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Frontier AI models, like airplanes, should be required to go through technical testing and auditing, and their release should be blocked or reversed as a threat to public safety if they do not meet high standards of safety.
- Every quote from Dario Amodei
- I do not think it is right that a few AI labs would make the most consequential decisions about the shape of our future.

- As the Trump Administration has now said many times: We totally reject global governance of AI. We believe AI adoption cannot lead to a brighter future if it is subject to bureaucracies and centralized control.

- Complete technological self-containment is unrealistic for any country, because the AI stack is incredibly complex. But strategic autonomy alongside rapid AI adoption is achievable, and it is a necessity for independent nations.
- Focusing AI policy on safety and speculative risks, however, rather than concrete opportunities, inhibits a competitive ecosystem, entrenches incumbents, and isolates developing countries from full participation in the AI economy.
- We have moved from gathering to talk about AI safety to calling for AI action, and now we are here to consider AI impact.
- Every quote from Michael Kratsios
- If we fail to push the policies of the country in the right direction, America will likely lose its position as the global leader in technology.
- It makes no sense to sell the CCP the tools with which to build an AI totalitarian state and possibly conquer us militarily.
- Competitor nations may be following American innovations quickly, but they are still only following.

- Artificial intelligence is a revolutionary technology with the potential to transform the global economy and alter the balance of power in the world. To remain the leading economic and military power, the United States must win the AI race.
- The challenge is the future doesn’t just wait around for everyone to come to a consensus.
- My belief is that government’s the only people who are powerful enough to deal with these large companies and even they may not be.
- But I think that I’ve now become somewhat disillusioned and think that even if we do have a three-month lead, a six-month lead, between the leading US project and any serious competitor, it’s not at all foregone conclusion that they will burn that lead for good purposes, either for safety or for constitutional power stuff.

- Today, you cannot deploy these intelligences unless and until there's someone indemnifying it as a human.
- And to restrict its development now would not only unfairly benefit incumbents in the space, it would mean paralyzing one of the most promising technologies we have seen in generations.

- And when a massive incumbent comes to us asking us for safety regulations, we ought to ask whether that safety regulation is for the benefit of our people or whether it's for the benefit of the incumbent.
- But to create that kind of trust, we need international regulatory regimes that fosters the creation of AI technology, rather than strangles it. And we need our European friends, in particular, to look to this new frontier with optimism rather than trepidation.
- Every quote from JD Vance
- But despite all the hubbub and competing interests, there actually is a reasonable policy position the United States can take: to focus on marginal risk and apply our regulatory energy there.

- In the end, we might conclude the best policy for human welfare is to invest aggressively in AI rather than to encumber it.
- We should only depart from the existing regulatory regime, and carve new ground, once we understand the marginal risks of AI relative to existing computer systems.
- Every quote from Martin Casado
- And so there are many countries – we like to call these “geopolitical swing states” – which could go either way.

- But I think this is going to be one of the under-the-line battles that really defines the course of the next few decades of geopolitics.
- So my expectation is that they will actually deploy AI to their military faster than the U.S., even though the U.S. is ahead on the tech, core technology.
- Every quote from Alexandr Wang
- You should not export data to import intelligence...
- The country that wins this AI race and related races like fusion will project so much economic power, hence will project political power and likely anoint the world's political system.
- Our adversaries are great at espionage, stealing models that fit on a thumb drive is relatively easy, and most tech companies are far from operating in a way that would make this more difficult.
- Regulatory agencies are being green lit in real time to do the same to Artificial Intelligence.
- By the early 2030s, the entirety of the US arsenal (like it or not, the bedrock of global peace and security) will probably be obsolete.

- Do we really want the infrastructure for the Manhattan Project to be controlled by some capricious Middle Eastern dictatorship?
- Given the relatively small number of entities who could train the largest models, it does seem possible to coordinate.
- Artificial Intelligence has the potential to uplift all of humanity to an unprecedented quality of living and must not be choked off in its infancy. We can do this by requiring that AI behaves within the law and rules of our society without regulating math, FLOPs, methods of R&D, and other misguided ideas.

- We believe any deceleration of AI will cost lives. Deaths that were preventable by the AI that was prevented from existing is a form of murder.
- AI is highly likely to be the control layer for everything in the world.
- My take is that much of the benefits of scale in technology that could have come to larger society have gone to individual companies because of the ads model.
