Ishwaria Subbiah: An EMERGENT need for guardrails protecting people

Ishwaria Subbiah shared a post on LinkedIn:

“When it comes to AI and public, we have an EMERGENT need (at least in healthcare) for guardrails protecting people.

What SB1047 got right — a law should have required powerful AI models to undergo safety testing before being released to the public, e.g. testing whether the model can be manipulated to hack into the state’s electric grid NoBrainer.

What SB1047 got wrong — SB1047 only applied to AI systems that cost >$100 million to train — no current models meet that criteria. Future bills must hold developers liable for severe harm caused by their models irrespective of the cost to train.

More insights from The Hill.”
