This!
Back from a week off for my wedding! Did I miss anything big in AI policy world?
One point on the Fable export controls which I think has been underemphasised is this: The UK @AISecurityInst, has, with it’s stellar talent, unique insights and plentiful resources, perhaps done more than any other external actor to support Anthropic and other frontier AI companies make their models more robust to misuse. This has been crucial to the development of the US AI ecosystem and maintaining the West’s lead in the space. As long as this ban is in place, UKAISI cannot help Anthropic better address the vulnerabilities (which exist in any model FWIW) the USG is so worried about. Of all the unintended consequences which have followed from this situation, that is one of the biggest for me.
I’m looking forward to exploring the implications of Fable and more with colleagues in DC this week, especially at the AI Security Forum on Thursday. Reach out if you’d like to catch up!
