DeepMind co-founder: everyone talks about AI guardrails, but no one knows what they are

DeepMind co-founder Gregory Hadfield discussed regulating increasingly powerful AI at Harvard Law School's Rappaport Forum with Jonathan Zittrain and Ketan Ramakrishnan. He argued that while everyone talks about safeguards and guardrails, nobody actually knows what they are or how they would work, and serious investment is needed to build them. He drew an analogy to automobiles, which took 50 years to learn to regulate — time AI won't give us.
