Beyond "banning ASI": policy ideas like digital security hardening and human provenance standards
granawkins · x · 2026-09-04
Granawkins proposes government actions that would actually work, instead of "banning ASI":
- Digital security hardening initiative: hunt down posted credentials (like those exposing Hugging Face access), audit critical systems with the best available models — akin to the Y2K effort.
- Human provenance standards: establish ways to prove human origin of text/image/video, e.g. cameras cryptographically signing photos.
- Fund research on how frequent LLM interaction affects kids' cognitive and emotional development.
