Oct 22, 2024, 03:19 PM
The U.S. AI Safety Institute, one of the few government offices dedicated to assessing AI safety, is at risk of being dismantled if Congress does not authorize it. A coalition of over 60 companies, nonprofits, and universities, including OpenAI and Anthropic, has called on Congress to enact legislation to codify the Institute before the end of the year. The Institute plays a crucial role in ensuring that AI models do not perform unsafe or illegal actions. Despite claims by AI companies of having robust safety checks, concerns remain about the effectiveness of these measures. This information was reported by TechCrunch.
