Fmr. OpenAI Member Helen Toner on AI Regulation from Congress: People Worry That We Need Some Kind of Chernobyl Accident to Wake Up

RUSH EXCERPT:
TONER: "I really hope not I mean I’ll, be honest with you. A lot of people in the safety space and a government space think that the political will is just not there right now, and they worry that we need some kind of chernobyl accident, some kind of real world disaster to wake up and to actually take action. One thing that gives me hope is seeing the the level of concern that incidents like this opening I incident from a couple weeks ago produce. I think it’s right for that to be worrying for us and if we can, I be sufficiently activated sufficiently energized by incidents like this or thankfully,. No one was hurt. Maybe we can get there without needing something more serious to happen"
