Calling on all AI firms to open all research into safety and alignment

Reddit r/singularity News

Summary

Dario Amodei highlights the AI alignment problem as a threat to humanity and urges AI firms to openly collaborate on safety research instead of treating it as a competitive advantage.

Dario says the AI alignment problem is a threat to humanity, but among his list of proposals to address the issue, the obvious suggestion to pool resources and collaborate is absent. Alignment should not be treated as a competitive advantage. It should be obvious that a solution to the issue is most likely when all the firms cooperate and collaborate rather than keeping their findings secret.
