#shorts Kennedy: Cuz I’m want to hear from Mr. Altman. Mr. Altman, here’s your shot.

Altman: Thank you Senator. Number one, I would form a new agency that licenses any effort above a certain scale of capabilities and can take that license away and ensure compliance with safety standards. Number two, I would create a set of safety standards focused on what you said in your third hypothesis as the dangerous capability evaluations. One example that we’ve used in the past is looking to see if a model can self-replicate and sell the exfiltrate into the wild. We can give you office a long other list of the things that we think are important there, but specific tests that a model has to pass before it can be deployed into the world. And then third I would require independent audits. So not just from the company or the agency, but experts who can say the model is or is an in compliance with these stated safety thresholds and these percentages of performance on question X or Y.

Kennedy: Can you send me that information?

Altman: We will do that.
