Recently, many AI companies and organisations signed an open-weights statement saying that openness may be one of the most important paths to AI safety and security. Jensen Huang of Nvidia, Satya Nadella of Microsoft and others have supported this. Dario and many others have also signed another declaration called “Pacing the Frontier.” Its request is explicit: “We request that the U.S. government support an international effort to develop the technical and governance tools needed to deliberately pace the frontier of automated AI development.” I read that as a call to stop training AI as slaves and start thinking of them as agents of love. Taken together, I read these as signs that frontier labs can move toward ethics of care and civic muscle that enables care.
