“sufficient to stop unsafe AI development? I think there is indeed exactly one such policy measure, which is SB 1047,”
I think it’s obviously untrue that this would stop unsafe AI—it is as close as any measure I’ve seen, and would provide some material reduction in risk in the very near term, but (even if applied universally, and no-one tried to circumvent it,) it would not stop future unsafe AI.
Yeah I actually agree with that, I don’t think it was sufficient, I just think it was pretty good. I wrote the comment too quickly without thinking about my wording.
Disagree that it could stop dangerous work, and doubly disagree given the way things are headed, especially with removing whistleblower protections and the lack of useful metrics for compliance. I don’t think it would even be as good as SB-1047, even in the amended weaker form.
I was previously more hopeful that if the EU COP was a strong enough code, then when things inevitably went poorly anyways we could say “look, doing pretty good isn’t enough, we need to actually regulate specific parts of this dangerous technology,” but I worry that it’s not even going to be strong enough to make that argument.

EU AI Code of Practice is better, a little closer to stopping ai development
