What Is To Be Done?
I propose a simple plan:
Big AI companies should be allowed to build AI as fast and aggressively as they can โ but not allowed to achieve regulatory capture, not allowed to establish a government-protect cartel that is insulated from market competition due to incorrect claims of AI risk. This will maximize the technological and societal payoff from the amazing capabilities of these companies, which are jewels of modern capitalism.
Startup AI companies should be allowed to build AI as fast and aggressively as they can. They should neither confront government-granted protection of big companies, nor should they receive government assistance. They should simply be allowed to compete. If and as startups donโt succeed, their presence in the market will also continuously motivate big companies to be their best โ our economies and societies win either way.
Open source AI should be allowed to freely proliferate and compete with both big AI companies and startups. There should be no regulatory barriers to open source whatsoever. Even when open source does not beat companies, its widespread availability is a boon to students all over the world who want to learn how to build and use AI to become part of the technological future, and will ensure that AI is available to everyone who can benefit from it no matter who they are or how much money they have.
To offset the risk of bad people doing bad things with AI, governments working in partnership with the private sector should vigorously engage in each area of potential risk to use AI to maximize societyโs defensive capabilities. This shouldnโt be limited to AI-enabled risks but also more general problems such as malnutrition, disease, and climate. AI can be an incredibly powerful tool for solving problems, and we should embrace it as such.
To prevent the risk of China achieving global AI dominance, we should use the full power of our private sector, our scientific establishment, and our governments in concert to drive American and Western AI to absolute global dominance, including ultimately inside China itself. We win, they lose.
And that is how we use AI to save the world.
Itโs time to build.
@RoKhanna@mcuban The government already makes out if the company succeeds when the individual sells shares and on the company profits and on the salaries of the employees. Youโre just wasting everyoneโs time with idiotic ideas that will kill the economy and make state income disappear.
@GiorgiaMeloni Beg or not, you lost my vote choosing Iran over the US. Denying the use of the bases put American soldiers in danger and denied critical operational advantage. Complete betrayal. Trump is right. Shocking that as a woman you could care less about the conditions of Iranian women.
@martindvz Maybe. But tourism is neither strategic nor it drives lasting prosperity. If it made a difference, Italy would be the richest country on earth.
@elonmusk We do it every week and share it with the whole company. It isnโt just for accountability, but also, and most importantly, for collaboration. If I know what youโre doing, I can avoid duplication, suggest improvements and propose new ideas. 101 basic stuff.
@bigchaz Donโt be jealous @bigchaz :-)) He brought them free stuff and he earned his reputation in this world by achieving some pretty remarkable things. Bring them some drones!
