Brief Legal [1A] Thoughts on the "AI Safety" Fights to Come
Dario Amodei of Anthropic proposed a regulatory framework to pace the development of frontier AI, arguing that voluntary measures are insufficient and that state oversight is necessary to manage risks. The article critiques this proposal, suggesting that government control over technology and speech is historically ineffective and potentially dangerous. The author contrasts Amodei's call for regulation with the existing 'censorship-industrial complex' and warns against the expansion of state power over software development.
- ▪Dario Amodei published an essay titled 'We Must Pace The Frontier' advocating for regulatory oversight of AI development.
- ▪The author argues that there is no evidence supporting the claim that AI will cause the immediate destruction of the human race.
- ▪Amodei's proposal includes the use of 'Embedded Evaluators' to verify safety practices and report incidents within AI companies.
- ▪The article references Eliezer Yudkowsky's call for immediate global control over AI technology to prevent existential risks.
- ▪The author compares the proposed AI safety measures to the 'censorship-industrial complex' seen in Web 2.0 regulation.

I’ve written often about these incredible benefits: I believe that AI could cure most major diseases in the next 5–10 years, greatly accelerate economic growth rates, create a world of abundance and empowerment, and usher in a renaissance of democracy and freedom. But – and there is always a but – …like many technologies before it, AI brings risks, and because it is such a powerful technology, these risks are serious.
