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.
