1/ Hundreds of contractors posed as teenagers to test how rival chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini handle prompts about suicide and self harm. The project was run for Meta. buff.ly/Auslrgh
I joined over 200 economists and AI researchers in signing "We Must Act Now" a statement on AI's transformation of the economy. AI could reshape the economy at unprecedented speed. The opportunities are enormous and so are the challenges. We need to start preparing our institu…
@sethlazar.org, @nickacaputo.bsky.social, and I are building Governing the AI Transition, a new Johns Hopkins SGP initiative to help society navigate the transition to powerful AI. We're hiring a Director to build it with us. If you're ready to roll up your sleeves, please app…
Andrew Freedman [tag] and I discuss in Fortune how the Obenornolte-Trahan bipartisan proposal in Congress, the FRONTIER Act, would begin building an effective ecosystem of independent verifiers that would help ensure events like this can't be kept secret in the AI industry. bu…
So thrilled for Karolina Stańczak, presenting our paper at FAccT today. You cannot write a complete contract for an AI, and we never wrote one for ourselves either. Norms, markets, and law fill that gap, and the paper asks what alignment could learn from them. Read here: arxiv…
In a new essay, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei calls for mandatory third-party testing of frontier AI models, with the government empowered to block unsafe deployments. One way to do it, in his words: a regulatory markets approach. His co-founder Jack Clark and I proposed that in …
Over half of internet traffic is now non-human. With Dan Hendrycks and Leo Wu, I look at agent IDs, deployment cards, personhood, and payments. It mostly comes down to how much we let agents do and how much oversight we keep. buff.ly/AQjYo3k

Yesterday I was on Capitol Hill with Fathom briefing House staff on the FRONTIER Act, the bipartisan bill from Rep. Obernolte and Rep. Trahan that would license independent experts to verify the safety of frontier AI. Full room, and a clear sense that Congress needs to move on…

The FRONTIER Act would license independent verifiers to assess the risk posed by advanced AI models. Government shifts from doing the testing to overseeing the testers. I talked to @eawhitford.bsky.social at MLex about building a market for those verifiers. buff.ly/gYHronv
1/ Illinois just became the first state to require frontier AI developers to undergo annual third-party audits. Gov. Pritzker signed the AI Safety Measures Act (SB 315) this week, going beyond California and New York, which only require published frameworks and incident reports.
Applications are open for a new AGI Governance Fellowship at Johns Hopkins, led by @sethlazar.org, Nicholas Caputo, and me. Three weeks in DC this September, in person, for early-career people already in AI governance. A capstone for the next generation, not an entry point.
1/ AI agents that can sign contracts on your behalf, hire employees, set prices, and move your money around are being heavily invested in by AI companies. But what I want to call attention to, what happens if an agent sells you faulty goods or runs off with your deposit?
1/ Air Canada had to honor a discount its chatbot invented. The liability caused by AI agents is landing on policies written by an insurance industry that never planned for them.
We only learned about OpenAI and Anthropic agents hacking into secure systems because the companies chose to tell us. But if Boeing discovered a dangerous problem with one of its aircraft, it wouldn't get to keep that information to itself. Drug companies are obligated to report adverse events.
1/ The Pacing the Frontier letter calls on the US government to support an international effort to build the technical and governance tools needed to protect our option to pace AI development. bsky.app/profile/yosh...
Most AI safety work tests one model at a time. Put many agents together and you get cooperation but also risks like collusion and cascades. A new Schmidt Sciences call, with @aria-research.bsky.social, the @coop-ai.bsky.social (whose board I chair), and others. Open globally, due Aug 9.
