A former OpenAI safety worker has published an article calling for government control of AI development. The worker spent four years at the company focusing on safety issues.
In the article, the writer says AI companies do not fully understand how their own systems behave. When researchers graded the safety practices of leading AI companies, the best score was a C-plus.
The writer also points out that major AI companies know their technology could be extremely dangerous, but they continue building it anyway.
