A proposal for decentralized AI: third-party inspection and a 'dolphin safe' label
aronchick · x · 2026-09-15
Quoting Ramez's call for intelligence distribution over centralization, Aronchick proposes a concrete governance scheme: 1) No single controller of intelligence — not a company, government, or consortium. 2) Anyone training frontier models (including OSS frontier labs) should allow external third-party inspection under strict NDA, covering training data provenance, eval results, and safety process, with a publication record. 3) Models that pass get a "dolphin safe" label from inspectors; those that don't get no fines or bans — just no label. The idea borrows from consumer labeling to push transparency via market forces rather than mandates.
