Today, I’m sharing my conversation with Divya Siddarth, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Collective Intelligence Project (CIP) about how we might democratize the development and governance of AI. We discuss:
The CIP’s work on alignment assemblies with Anthropic and OpenAI — what they’ve learned, and why in the world a company would agree to increasing public participation.
The #1 risk of AI as ranked by the public. (Sneak peek: it has nothing to do with rogue robots.)
Are participatory processes good enough to bind companies to the decisions they generate?
How we need to fundamentally change our conception of ‘AI expertise.’
How worker and public participation can shift the short-term thinking and incentives driving corporate America.
Should AI companies become direct democracies or representative ones?
How Divya would structure public participation if she had a blank sheet of paper and if AI companies had to adopt the recommendations.
That’s it for now,
Charley
