In this episode, I talk to Holly Elmore about her advocacy
around AI Pause - encouraging governments to pause the development
of more and more powerful AI. Topics we discuss include:
Why advocate specifically for AI pause?
What costs of AI pause would be worth it?
What might AI pause look like?
What are the realistic downsides of AI pause?
How the Effective Altruism community relates to AI labs.
The shift in the alignment community from proving things about
alignment to messing around with ML models.
An interview podcast where I, Daniel Filan, interview guests about topics I'm interested in, with the aim of clarifying how the guest understands that topic.
