AI governance folks should definitely consider Dean’s proposal! It’s a thoughtful & quite creative plan that I think would encourage better safety practices from AI developers without prematurely locking in any single regulatory approach, all in a non-coercive way. Nice work!

Excited to share a forthcoming paper--an in-depth exploration of the private governance proposal I outlined on Hyperdimensional a few weeks ago. The paper will also go through my thoughts on several other major AI governance frameworks. On ArXiv soon!

I am happy to announce that I have joined the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy as a Senior Policy Advisor on AI and Emerging Technology. It is a thrill and honor to serve my country in this role and work alongside the tremendous team Director Michael Kratsios has built.

Dean is a true patriot and one of the sharpest minds in AI and tech policy. I’m proud to have him join our WHOSTP47 team.

I view SB 813 as a step forward—particularly in fostering innovation in AI safety through the creation of independent multi-stakeholder regulatory organizations (MROs). It would also set in motion crucial work to establish the legal infrastructure and adaptive standards needed to

I know I'm late to the party, but Dean W. Ball 's essays are excellent, and have made me much more skeptical about the kinds of AI regulations I was previously somewhat sympathetic to.

Did everybody have Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) when in elementary school? What an incredible little education brand. Feels comforting, cozy, and urgent at the same time. I would love for somebody to command me to DEAR. Whomever thought to label reading time “DEAR”… kudos!

I am looking forward to being paid six figures to serve as an expert witness in a 2032 tort case where the questions are like, “what were the vibes on the tl about sparse autoencoders as an interp technique in the spring of 2024”

🚨 New from SRI: Can third-party private regulators help govern AI and keep innovation moving? Our new workshop report explores regulatory markets, a novel co-regulatory model that harnesses private sector expertise while protecting the public. Read: srinstitute.utoronto.ca/news/co-design…

Six years ago Jack Clark and I proposed regulatory markets as a new model for AI governance that would attract more investment---money and brains—in a democratically legitimate way, fostering AI innovation while ensuring these powerful technologies don’t destabilize or harm

AI poses a unique governance challenge. This technology is both inescapably global in its reach – hundreds of millions of people use some form of AI today – and profoundly local in its impacts, expanding into lives, families, workplaces, and communities with differentiated

Preemption, Pause, Patchwork? Are these our choices? Read my latest post on why we should be thinking about AI governance differently.

Our co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Andrew Freedman on America's AI Action Plan: "The Action Plan’s call to build an AI evaluation ecosystem is critical for increasing public trust and adoption of AI." Full statement below.

🧠 How can we solve the unique governance challenge posed by AI? Fathom co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Andrew Freedman joins Nathan Labenz on the @cogrev_podcast alongside Dr. Gillian Hadfield to unpack how markets might drive better AI regulation. 🎧 Listen now:

Sometimes you do have to reinvent the wheel. When it comes to AI, new regulatory regimes may be necessary to account for its dynamic nature. In our latest episode, Andrew Freedman (CSO at Fathom) makes the case for SB 813, a novel AI bill pending before the CA leg.

The EU AI Code of Practice boils down to this: Fill out a form → Get a checkmark → Call it safe. That’s not AI governance. That’s compliance theater. 🧵⬇️
