A former Anthropic AI researcher has called for Congress to allow leading AI labs to regulate themselves. Jacob Coxon made this suggestion while lawmakers work on a long-term regulatory framework for AI development. He believes the people running these labs are genuine in their desire to slow down their progress.
Coxon expressed his opinion on a news program, stating that current legislation may become outdated quickly. He also mentioned the idea of a national "kill switch" if AI exceeds human control, noting it might work for some AI systems.
Further details on Coxon's comments and the proposed regulatory framework are available from the source.
