Mark Zuckerberg posted his view on building AI safely, which Bill Ackman amplified as "the proper approach to AI development."
- Every lab has both the responsibility and the incentive to move at the pace required to train its models safely, and can take its own actions to ensure that.
- Users won't adopt misaligned agents that ignore instructions, so labs face a strong natural incentive to improve alignment.
- On the debate over slowing capabilities until alignment catches up, he argues trust and alignment are quickly becoming the most important capabilities differentiating agents and models.
It's a notable public stance from a frontier lab framing alignment as competitive advantage, in contrast to mandatory slowdown approaches.
