Ball worries that advanced AI could radically concentrate power in the hands of those who control it, displacing labor in ways that disempower humans.
Key facts
- You could say that, this month, you’re going to be allowed to use 45 percent of your compute for that, and next month, it’ll be 47 percent or 52 percent or some other number
- The reporter would not say that every frontier AI company always has performed at 100 percent, by no means
- Last year, he joined the White House as an AI adviser and helped write the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan, a policy road map for the technology
- Matteo Wong: You write that concentration of power through AI could upend the basic human freedoms enshrined in the U.S. Constitution
Summary
Late last month, OpenAI launched a rather grand mission: nothing less than defending individual political freedom in an age of all-powerful machines. Many Americans—a majority of whom express distrust toward the AI industry, outrage about data centers, and fears about their job security—already seem to be feeling this loss of agency deeply. Ball, who studies AI policy, is something of a minor celebrity in the industry. Last year, he joined the White House as an AI adviser and helped write the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan, a policy road map for the technology. Now you have to assume that robotics is going to advance soon in the same way that general digital intelligence has.
