👀Important letter coming from a bipartisan group of 35 members of Congress noting cyber risks from Mythos
but also "sudden frontier AI capability jumps", including assistance with bioweapons and the possibility of runaway recursive self-improvement.
Nathan Calvin@_NathanCalvinNew letter from 35 (!) members of Congress to the White House urging action post-Mythos. Most of the letter is about cyber risk, but also discusses importance of non-cyber threats as well. "As general-purpose models improve, they may acquire new capabilities in cyber, chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN)-relevant research, and AI research and development (R&D) itself before federal agencies and infrastructure owners have time to adjust. Regardless of how quickly one expects AI capabilities to advance, when important capabilities appear, federal agencies must be able to recognize them and respond quickly."
