    1. significant model public releases within scope

      ! Also, what is 'significant'?

    2. introduced after the watermarking system is developed

      !

    3. Companies commit to advancing this area of research, and to developing a multi-faceted, specialized, and detailed red-teaming regime, including drawing on independent domain experts, for all major public releases of new models within scope

      So applying to what comes next...

    4. Where commitments mention particular models, they apply only to generative models that are overall more powerful than the current industry frontier (

      Very interesting... Not quite sure what is meant by 'particular models', though. ||JovanK||

    5. only a first step in developing and enforcing binding obligations to ensure safety, security, and trus

      commitments to be followed by binding obligations

    1. access to its safe technology could be offered as an incentivefor countries to participate in a governance regime that enforces responsibility (such as agreementsto enact stricter regulation, or restrict military AI development).

      But the cynical question would be: If country X has the research and development capacities to develop advanced AI, why would it want access to the tech of this Collaborative?

    2. uture regulations will limit access to powerful AI technologies in jurisdictions with inadequate AIgovernanc

      Assuming those jurisdictions won't be able to develop their own powerful AI tech?

    3. o increase chances of success, aCommission should foreground scientific rigor and the selection of highly competent AI expertswho work at the cutting edge of technological development and who can continually interpret theever-changing technological and risk landscape

      Sounds good; with the devil being in implementation. E.g." Whose standards would determine what is 'highly competent' AI expert?

    4. there is significant disagreement even among experts about the different opportunities andchallenges created by advanced AI

      And so what makes us think that these disagreements would evolve into a consensus if a committee is created?

    5. International consensus on the opportunities and risks from advanced AI

      What does 'international consensus' mean?

    6. the Commission on Frontier AI could facilitatescientific consensus by convening experts to conduct rigorous and comprehensive assessments ofkey AI topics, such as interventions to unlock AI’s potential for sustainable development, the effectsof AI regulation on innovation, the distribution of benefits, and possible dual-use capabilities fromadvanced systems and how they ought to be managed

      What a Commission on Frontier AI would do.

      Silly question: Why 'frontier AI'?

    7. dangerous inputs: computing resources have been targeted by US, Japanese and Dutch export controlsthat prevent the sale of certain AI chips and semiconductor manufacturing equipment to Chin

      So 'controlling dangerous inputs' is actually about preventing non-friendly countries to access/develop the tech?

    8. standards

      Again, what kind of standards are we talking about?

    9. Establish guidelines

      Don't we have enough of these?

    10. develop frontier AI collectively or distribute and enable access

      A bunch of questions here. It sounds good, but:

      • Collectively by whom?
      • How exactly would that distribution of access work?
    11. developing and/or enabling safe forms of access to AI.

      What does this mean?

    12. ontrolling AIinputs

      How could this be done?

      ||JovanNj|| Any thoughts?

    1. three principles, transparency, accountability, and limits on use.

      3 principles for AI governance

    2. Number one, you’re here because AI is this extraordinary new technology that everyone says can be transformative as much as the printing press. Number two is really unknown what’s gonna happen. But there’s a big fear you’ve expressed to all of you about what bad actors can do and will do if there’s no rules of the road. Number three, as a member who served in the house and now in the Senate, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s impossible for Congress to keep up with the speed of technology.

      A good summary of the current situation with AI technology.

    3. the central scientific issue

      Is it 'scientific issue'? I do not think so. It is more philosophical and possible even, theological, issue. Can science tell us what is good and bad?

    4. the conception of the EU AI Act is very consistent with this concept of precision regulation where you’re regulating the use of the technology in context.

      EU AI Act uses precise regulation of regulation AI in specific contexts.

    5. a reasonable care standard.

      Another vague concept. What is 'reasonable'? There will be a lot of job for AI-powered lawyers.

    6. Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Senator Hawley for having this. I’m trying to find out how it is different than social media and learn from the mistakes we made with social media. The idea of not suing social media companies is to allow the internet to flourish. Because if I slander you you can sue me. If you’re a billboard company and you put up the slander, can you sue the billboard company? We said no. Basically, section 230 is being used by social media companies to high, to avoid liability for activity that other people generate. When they refuse to comply with their terms of use, a mother calls up the company and says, this app is being used to bully my child to death. You promise, in the terms of use, she would prevent bullying. And she calls three times, she gets no response, the child kills herself and they can’t sue. Do you all agree we don’t wanna do that again?

      How to avoid repeating with AI governance what happened with Seciton 230 and social media governance?

    7. the current version of GPT-4 ended to training in 2021.

      2021 starts to being 'safety net' for OpenAI

    8. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN):

      It is probably the most practical approach to AI governance. Senator from Tennessee asked many questions on the protection of copyright of musicians. Is Nashville endangered. The more we anchor AI governance questions into practical concerns of citizens, communities, and companies - the better AI governance we will have.

    9. that people own their virtual you.

      People can own it only with 'bottom-up AI'

    10. When you think about the energy costs alone, just for training these systems, it would not be a good model if every country has its own policies and each, for each jurisdiction, every company has to train another model.

      It is naive view because AI is shaped by ethics and ethics is very 'local'. Yes, there are some global ethical principles: protect human life and dignity. But many other ethical rules are very 'local'.

    11. need a cabinet level organization within the United States in order to address this.

      Who can govern AI?

    12. If these large language models can, even now, based on the information we put into them quite accurately predict public opinion, you know, ahead of time. I mean, predict, it’s before you even ask the public these questions, what will happen when entities, whether it’s corporate entities or whether it’s governmental entities, or whether it’s campaigns or whether it’s foreign actors, take this survey information, these predictions about public opinion and then fine tune strategies to elicit certain responses, certain behavioral responses.

      this is what worries politicians - how to win elections? They like 'to see' (use AI for their needs) but 'not to be seen' (use by somebody else. The main problem with political elites worldwide is that they may win elections with use of AI (or not), but the humanity is sliding into 'knowledge slavery' by AI.

    13. large language models can indeed predict public opinion.

      They can as they, for example, predict continuation of this debate in the political space.

    14. So I think the most important thing that we could be doing and can, and should be doing now, is to prepare the workforce of today and the workforce of tomorrow for partnering with AI technologies and using them. And we’ve been very involved for, for years now in doing that in focusing on skills-based hiring in educating for the skills of the future. Our skills build platform has 7 million learners and over a thousand courses worldwide focused on skills. And we’ve pledged to train 30 million individuals by 2030 in the skills that are needed for society today.

      It is probably the only thing to do. But the problem remains that even re-skilling want be sufficient if we will need less human labour.

    15. The National Institutes of Standards and technology actually already has an AI accuracy test,

      It would be interesting to see how it works in practice. How can you judge accuracy if AI is about probability. It is not about certainty which is the first building block for accuracy.

    16. Ultimately, we may need something like cern Global, international and neutral, but focused on AI safety rather than high energy physics.

      He probably thought of analogy with IPCC as supervisory space. But CERN could play role as place for research on AI and processing huge amount of data.

    17. But we also need independent scientists, not just so that we scientists can have a voice, but so that we can participate directly in addressing the problems in evaluating solutions.

      An important stakeholder.

    1. Title: Data centres need more space in Frankfurt

      Frankfurt is the major European data hub, with more than 60 data centres covering 64 hectares.

      One of the main reasons for this high concentration of data centres is the proximity of the main Internet exchange hub in Frankfurt, which processes most of the European internet traffic.

      Fast expansion of data hubs triggered reaction of local authorities. In the new urbanist plan, they would like to restrict space for data centres. As you can see from the enclosed article, this proposal triggered a reaction from the German Datacenter Association arguing, among others, that the restriction for the growth of data centres could endanger digitalisation processes in Germany.

    1. Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules Declaration aims to extend the current APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) system worldwide.

      It is also an attempt to address the need for a regulatory framework for the cross-border flow of data. The current CBPR system used by APEC countries has been developed over the last 10 years with an international certification system, standard development, etc.

      The declaration is signed by Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, and the United States of America.

    3. not just for big, multinational technology companies, but for companies across all sectors of the economy, and for micro, small- and medium-sized businesses, workers, and consumers as well;

      this is an implicit reference to the concern that U.S. is pushing free data flows only for the interest of big tech. These lines refer to the whole of the economy.

    1. The recently enacted Data Security Law (DSL) and Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) reinforce these risks. Articles 4 and 5 of the DSL state that the effort to guarantee data security must adhere to the party-state’s “comprehensive state security outlook,” and that the “central state security leading mechanism” is “responsible for decision-making and overall coordination on data security work, and researching, drafting, and guiding the implementation of national data security strategies and relevant major guidelines and policies.”1

      need to be analysed in more details.

    1. This article provides a good survey of the failure of Facebook's 'monetary' experiments starting with Libra and followed by Diem.

      Facebook dropped the 'digital currency' project. Probably, they thought that this part of 'regulatory battle' could weaken them in other 'battles' around anti-trust, data, consumer protection.

      In particular, it could weaken their chances for the success of Metaverse project which is Facebook's ultimate battle for survival.

      Libra development was historical moment in Internet governance and digital policy since it was the first major occasion when tech platforms were not allowed to use 'ex post' approach (develop and regulate later on). This time regulators stopped them 'ex ante'.

    1. Too often we get carried away by short-term thinking and the prospect of rapid gain. We need to rediscover asense of anticipation and the awareness that fate may strike at any moment. What will happen next? Scientists work to identify future threats and alert us to them.They also provide us with information and data as elements of thesolution. The proper management of this data is of paramount importance. This is why Switzerland is proud to be hostingthe next UN World Data Forum in Bern in October

      On anticipating risks; Governance of data is important; Mention of UN World Data Forum.

    2. Les gouvernements –et d’autres entités –peuvent les exploiter pour contrôler ou manipuler le comportement des citoyens, bafouant ainsi les droits humains des individus ou groupes et sapant la démocratie.

      Governments - and other entities - can exploit them to control or manipulate the behavior of citizens, thereby violating the human rights of individuals or groups and undermining democracy.

    3. But let’s be frank. Today’s multilateral system is too limited in its instruments and capacities,in relation to what is needed for effective governance of managing global public goods.

    1. Much of the other work involves setting standards for datasets that are not uniform between different entities and provinces. This would allow them to be more easily used on new data exchanges such as the one recently launched in Beijing that aims to allow companies to trade anonymous proprietary data -- effectively a pilot for a national data trading system

      Rules for the governance of data is a key motivation of the Chinese government crackdown on companies. While proposals to nationalise companies' datasets have met criticism, an idea that is gaining traction is the possibility to establish a trading system for data between companies. ||JovanK||
