AI Emergency Preparedness: Examining the Federal Government's Ability to Detect and Respond to AI-Related National Security Threats
By Akash Wasil et al.This paper uses scenario planning to show how governments could prepare for AI emergencies. The authors examine three plausible disasters: losing control of AI, AI model theft, and bioweapon creation. They then expose gaps in current preparedness systems, and propose specific government reforms including embedding auditors inside AI companies and creating emergency response units.Source:https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.17347A podcast by BlueDot Impact.Learn more on the AI Safety Fundamentals website.

Introduction to AI Control
By Sarah Hastings-WoodhouseAI Control is a research agenda that aims to prevent misaligned AI systems from causing harm. It is different from AI alignment, which aims to ensure that systems act in the best interests of their users. Put simply, aligned AIs do not want to harm humans, whereas controlled AIs can't harm humans, even if they want to.Source:https://bluedot.org/blog/ai-controlA podcast by BlueDot Impact.Learn more on the AI Safety Fundamentals website.
