this policy brief provides policymakers with concrete recommendations for how governments can manage AI risks.
Policy recommendations: 1. Mandate robust third-party auditing and certification. 2. Regulate access to computational power. 3. Establish capable AI agencies at the national level. 4. Establish liability for AI-caused harms. 5. Introduce measures to prevent and track AI model leaks. 6. Expand technical AI safety research funding. 7. Develop standards for identifying and managing AI-generated content and recommendations.
From an x-risk perspective, I think this report is good. It's far from shovel-ready policy proposals, but it points in some reasonable directions and might advance the debate.
I think it's wrong on #5 (watermarking)– what could Meta do if LLaMa had been watermarked? And #7 seems to have little x-risk relevance.
In essence, use liability law and liability insurance to make the market price in externalities, such that the market can be incentivized to solve the AI Alignment problem.
