Transcript

What I think would be wise to do as soon as possible, if not immediately, would be to have the major AI competitors test each others models. So that you would have everyone's security test harness testing everyone's models. So, you know, instead of kind of grading your own homework, you would at least have competitors grading your homework and raising the alarm if they see concerns. If after the competitors say that this model is unsafe, that model then subsequently does something bad, I think it would be extremely hard to live down. The egg on face level would be very, very high. And the the legal liability would be enormous. And any given proposal

has to be something that China is willing to accept. Otherwise, we're just handicapping ourselves. >> And Elon, there's no reason these safety and security harnesses and this testing apparatus couldn't be open source and people could actually apply it. Yeah, and then you you'd be able to see under the hood. >> It creates an incredible incentive for the labs to actually invest in safety because you protect yourself while trying to debunk other people's claims. It's clever. >> product liability point is really key. Lina Khan actually had a good post. I think it was yesterday saying that it's

not true that we don't have rules and regulations for AI. Actually, we do. Product liability laws apply. And what you're saying, Elon, is that if the companies are kind of doing this this test that the peer review and then one of the the companies ignores the feedback and releases it, >> in that case would be enormous. >> Yes, it would be almost like prima facia evidence that they had been negligent. >> be a big tobacco level settlement. I mean, you knowingly put this out here. >> It won't look good to the jury. >> Yes. >> I like this solution a lot. I like this more than the transnational gulag

organization >> approach. Like we don't need to go a few weeks without some grandiose, you know, international like we don't need to convene the United Nations to make this happen. >> No, it's just a decision. It could happen right now. >> You can always escalate the amount of regulatory oversight, but it is very difficult to reduce it.
