In an op-ed published today in @TIME, @charlotte_stix and I discuss the serious risks associated with internal deployment by frontier AI companies. We argue that maintaining transparency and effective public oversight are essential to safely manage the trajectory of AI.

Frontier AI could reach or surpass human level within just a few years. This could help solve global issues, but also carries major risks. To move forward safely, we must develop robust technical guardrails & make sure the public has a much stronger say. https://t.co/5Q9YDq4veI
