What’s the Right “Level of Care” for A.I.?

Andrew here. President Trump’s so-called Super Intelligence Force is officially taking shape. Over the weekend, Jay Clayton, the director of national intelligence and a former S.E.C. chair, was announced as the leader of the initiative.

Clayton has 120 days to draft a report recommending the proper role of government in artificial intelligence. If you were drafting this, what would you recommend for the government’s role in A.I.? Specifically, where should the government intervene, and where should it step out of the way? Please let me know.

More safety concerns about OpenAI

The global discussion about artificial intelligence is largely focused on safety. The latest developments at OpenAI will probably keep it that way.

Questions about the A.I. giant’s commitment to safety are likely to hang heavily over the company and the industry as a whole — with new comments by its C.E.O., Sam Altman, probably unlikely to help.
