AI Researcher Warns Testing Rules May Hand Over Model Weights
Alex Turner argues required secure testing periods could let governments obtain and use model weights.
Alex Turner posted that government rules would force AI labs to submit models for testing in secure environments controlled by officials. He stated this hands authorities copies of the weights, enabling their use in practice under lawful conditions. Tan Zhi-Xuan reposted the thread. The posts treat the outcome as a direct result of the testing setup rather than speculation on intent.

Alex Turner@Turn_Trout- Govt requires AI labs to give 30 days testing before launch - Tested in a "secure" environment, aka controlled by govt - Govt therefore gets copy of model weights - Govt therefore can in practice use model weights - Therefore all labs provide "all lawful use" anyways?
