AI Labs Should Make Safe Tech Without Antitrust Help, David Sacks Says
TL;DR
Top artificial intelligence companies Anthropic PBC and OpenAI should make safe products — and pace their own progress if necessary — without government intervention, David Sacks, co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science & Technology, said Monday in an interview with Bloomberg TV.
Nauti's Take
The advantage of this stance is that Anthropic and OpenAI keep room to update their own safety standards quickly instead of waiting on slow legislation. The risk is that everything stays voluntary.
If labs cannot coordinate without antitrust cover, each one has a reason to keep pushing so a rival does not pull ahead. Companies building on these models should check vendor safety commitments closely and put them in writing.
