Episode Synopsis

By Helen TonerThis essay describes AI safety policies that rely on centralised control (surveillance, fewer AI projects, licensing regimes) as "stasist" approaches that sacrifice innovation for stability. Toner argues we need "dynamist" solutions to the risks from AI that allow for decentralised experimentation, creativity and risk-taking.Source:https://helentoner.substack.com/p/dynamism-vs-stasisA podcast by BlueDot Impact.Learn more on the AI Safety Fundamentals website.
