Brief Summary
AI developers must self-regulate and create defenses against their own technologies.
Key points
- Building Frankenstein. A warning against creating uncontrollable AI systems and the need for defensive tools.
- The Call for Defensive Mechanisms. Tech companies need tools to defend against AI threats, not just regulations.
Transcript
Why is it that the people who are at the frontier of the AI economy are throwing up their hands and saying, "Well, we've built Frankenstein and the solution to Frankenstein apparently is to create a one world governance structure for artificial intelligence." What I would say to those people, if you're building Frankenstein, stop. Or maybe build, you know, if if the cat is out of the bag, then build the defensive mechanism against Frankenstein. And you know, I I I I I I don't know Daario well. I've I've read everything that he said over the past couple of weeks. Everybody that I know tells me that he's very earnest,
that this is a deeply held belief. It's not cynical. It's not about regulatory capture, that he genuinely cares about this. But at the same time, I talk to tech companies. I'm sure you guys talk to a lot more tech companies than I do. At the same time that you have this sort of cyber hacking tool that's come out of Anthropic's newest models, you have companies that are desperate for the defensive mechanisms to defend against that cyber hacking tool and they're being denied access to it. So if you're going to create Frankenstein, don't come to the government and say we need regulation. Look inward and accept that if you're building Frankenstein, number
one, you should stop. And number two, when the companies come to you and say, "We need the tools to fight back against Frankenstein." Give them those tools. >> Right. >> It's incredibly common sensical.
