AI Experts Call for Stronger Government Oversight to Prevent Harms from Rapid AI Progress

A group of 24 AI experts published a paper urging stronger regulation of AI to prevent future harms.

The group argues AI progress is happening quickly and we are approaching a point where regulation is needed before we lose control.

They recommend companies allocate 1/3 of AI R&D to safety and governments gain oversight through model registration and monitoring.

Governments should also have the power to pause risky AI development until protections are in place, they argue.

The call for regulation contrasts with views of Meta's AI head Yann LeCun, who argues AI needs open platforms to progress safely.
