AI Experts Call for Government Action to Manage AI Risks

24 AI experts, including Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, released a policy paper calling for government action to manage AI risks.

The paper recommends tech companies devote 1/3 of AI R&D to safety, and creating national and international AI standards.

It's the third major statement this year signed by prominent AI researchers warning of AI risks, after petitions in March and May.

The paper aims to advise governments asking what policies are needed to address AI risks.

Scientists like climate experts have historically sounded alarms on risks from their fields, like Oppenheimer on nuclear weapons.
