Osse questions Kokotajlo on AI 2040 Plan A
Councilmember Chi Osse asks Kokotajlo about the AI 2040 Plan A and why he believes AI development should be put on ice until safer paths are found.
Thank you, Chairs, and thank you, Speaker.
For Mr.
Kokotayo, you have made statements, including some that allude to this in your testimony, that when it comes to AI, you agree that in order for us to have
super advanced AI, we must not do it in a reckless way and lose control, and we need to put it on ice until we can figure out a safer way out.
You and other AI experts came up with AI 2040 Plan A, a recommended plan for how AI can be developed safely, which the speaker has alluded to earlier in her questioning.
But I want to dive a bit deeper on plan A.
First, state on the record what those specific recommendations are and your rationale for making those recommendations.
And two, why do you feel like we need to, since you've said, put AI development on ice?
