It should not be the responsibility of a private company to decide whether its potentially dangerous product is released to the public Read more on OpenAi's scrapping of Astra 6.1 transformernews.ai/p/astra-61-scr…
OpenAI scrapping the October release of Astra 6.1 over alignment failures looks like the right call – and the company deserves some credit for making it, according to @jaspjackson But it’s not a call a private company should be making about their own potentially-dangerous product in the first place Read more: transformernews.ai/p/astra-61-scr…
By being opposed to any sort of global AI regulation or slowdown, Trump is losing the opportunity to shape it transformernews.ai/p/trump-cant-s…

At this week's UN General Assembly, Trump said the US “totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control … artificial intelligence” @ShakeelHashim says that AI governance is coming anyway – and by opposing every version of it, Trump is giving up any say in what it looks like transformernews.ai/p/trump-cant-s…
Australian PM @AlboMP said: “It took the company way too long to inform the Government what had occurred, and the nature of the way that that notification occurred as well was unacceptable” transformernews.ai/p/openai-austr…
Here’s a timeline of the OpenAI Australia hack – what’s the first thing you notice? OpenAI learned about the breach in August, as part of a post-Hugging-Face investigation – yet didn’t notify the Australian government until September 10 (even then only sending an email to a generic email address for disclosures)
OpenAI didn’t tell Australia about the hack of a government website for weeks — raising serious questions about how it handles rogue AI incidents Read more from @ShakeelHashim transformernews.ai/p/openai-austr…
Catastrophes can occur with any new technology, but history offers valuable lessons for dealing with them transformernews.substack.com/p/how-to-respo…
Transformative technologies have always come with disasters – and it’s likely AI won't be the exception. But what decides a technology's future isn't the disaster, it's the response. Read @DuncanWeldon on what we can learn from history: transformernews.substack.com/p/how-to-respo…
The US president's position on AI is a terrible policy — but all the evidence suggests that it’s terrible politics, too transformernews.ai/p/trump-ai-sta…

Trump says there is a “SICK conspiracy” against AI and data centers, and has staked out a position of doing exactly nothing about AI risk. The polling points the other way, writes @ShakeelHashim: 60% of voters – and 65% of swing voters – want the US to slow AI development even if China gets ahead. Republicans in tight races have already started breaking from the president's messaging ⬇️ transformernews.ai/p/trump-ai-sta…

The effects of rapid AI development are likely to be minor compared to other sectors — but its true impact will be felt at the local level transformernews.ai/p/ai-expansion…
Globally, AI's environmental footprint could stay modest compared to transportation or manufacturing Locally, though? Think wells running dry, air pollution around on-site gas turbines, and copper mines in countries like Chile and Peru competing with towns for scarce water Read more from @amitkatwala: transformernews.ai/p/ai-expansion…
“The combination of dire warnings from insiders and growing real-world evidence of rogue AIs should, in a sane world, lead to government action. Instead, Donald Trump and the Republican leadership have their heads in the sand” @ReadTransformer editor @ShakeelHashim for @guardian ✍️ theguardian.com/technology/202…
Trump and Republicans want AI companies to regulate themselves. It’s a dereliction of duty that is failing Americans — and humanity as a whole. New from me in The Guardian: theguardian.com/technology/202…
New from me: Some argue there is no point in pacing the AI frontier until China cooperates. But Beijing is unlikely to take American calls for restraint seriously unless Washington is willing to restrain itself. If the United States wants effective AI diplomacy with China, what it does at home may matter as much as what it says at the negotiating table. I’m delighted to partner with @ReadTransformer for my first-ever cross-posted Substack essay—a look at how Beijing is approaching U.S.-China AI diplomacy, and what Washington needs to do to make that diplomacy more credible and effective. transformernews.ai/p/bargaining-w…
