OpenAI has introduced a new framework to track, investigate, and disclose instances of 'misalignment' (deviations from developer intent) in its models, aiming to preempt global AI governance and shape the debate on AI safety and risks on its own terms. The framework is a tactical move to demonstrate the company's commitment to safety and avoid strict government rules, but it also raises concerns about the potential for companies to control the narrative and obscure issues. The move is likely to prompt a response from other major AI firms and governments, potentially leading to the development of a shared industry standard or new laws regulating AI behavior. AI summary

Gary Marcus partially endorses Dario Amodei's essay "We Must Pace the Frontier," which advocates for slowing down AI development and proposes a three-part plan for doing so. Amodei's proposal includes providing third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to Anthropic's systems, a move that has raised concerns about regulatory capture and the potential for bias. Amodei's plan also sidesteps other policy options, such as liability and product recalls, that some argue could be more effective in addressing AI safety concerns. AI summary
