“I think AI should best be understood as something like a new digital species… it’s clear that we are in the fastest and most consequential wave ever…If we are to prioritize safety above all else, to ensure that this new wave always serves and amplifies humanity… this is the point of being explicit and transparent about trying to introduce safety by design very early on.”
