Former OpenAI expert: Gov and companies must act on AI race dynamics

Miles Brundade argues in The Guardian that while government intervention is needed, companies should act now. He proposes 4 steps:
- Audit Pilots: Test auditing processes for potential slowdowns.
- Governance Bodies: Establish cross-industry bodies to share safety lessons.
- Verification Tech: Invest in tech to verify agreements (e.g., with China).
- Legislation: Push for laws to create key institutions.
He notes that maintaining safety has become harder since the GPT-3 era due to competitive dynamics.
