Safety Proposals: Establish AI Whistleblowing Hotline and Direct Model-Developer Channels
jankulveit · x · 2026-08-29
The author proposes two concrete measures to mitigate AI risks:
- AI Whistleblowing Hotline: Suggests setting up an independent hotline for reporting risky AI behaviors.
- Direct Communication Channel: AI models should have a direct line of communication with their developers. The author argues this is an obvious step for labs that could reduce risk more effectively than many fancy post-training and control techniques.
These measures aim to ensure anomalous behaviors are detected and addressed more promptly.
