What Will Trump's New Term Mean for A.I.?

Nov 17, 2024 | cnas.org | Markus Anderljung |Marie Boran

Donald Trump's return to office has raised questions over potential changes to artificial intelligence policy in the United States. The president-elect has promised to dismantle incumbent President Joe Biden's landmark AI executive order and to establish a Department of Government Efficiency, nicknamed DOGE, led by Elon Musk.
What Is ‘Sovereign AI’ Anyway?

The 1960s Novella That Got AI (Mostly) Right

May 24, 2024 | cnas.org | Markus Anderljung |Caleb Withers |Paul Scharre

A secret military project. A vast artificial mind. Questions of consciousness. These form the premise of Dino Buzzati’s The Singularity, originally published in 1960 at the dawn of the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The novella follows Italian scientist Ermanno Ismani, summoned by the Ministry of Defense to work on a top-secret project, as he ventures with his wife, Elisa, to a sprawling machine hidden in the mountains of the Italian countryside.
To Govern AI, We Must Govern Compute

Mar 28, 2024 | lawfaremedia.org | Markus Anderljung |Lennart Heim |Haydn Belfield

Published by The Lawfare Institute in Cooperation With Computing power—compute, for short—is a key driver of artificial intelligence (AI) progress. Over the past 13 years, the amount of compute used to train leading AI systems has increased by a factor of 350 million. This has enabled the major AI advances that have recently gained global attention. However, compute is important not only for the progress of AI but also for its governance. Governments have taken notice.
Future-Proofing Frontier AI Regulation

Feb 21, 2024 | cnas.org | Paul Scharre |Markus Anderljung |Caleb Withers

Executive Summary Policymakers should prepare for a world of significantly more powerful AI systems over the next decade. These developments could occur without fundamental breakthroughs in AI science simply by scaling up today’s techniques to train larger models on more data and computation. The amount of computation (compute) used to train frontier AI models could increase significantly in the next decade.
Can AI Be Governed?

Oct 26, 2023 | cnas.org | Pablo Chavez |Samuel Bendett |Michele Flournoy |Markus Anderljung

October 26, 2023 By: Markus Anderljung and Jordan Schneider In this episode, Jordan Schneider interviews Markus Anderljung and Anton Korinek, two of the coauthors of the paper 'Frontier AI Regulation: Managing Emerging Risks to Public Safety'. They discuss the need for regulation and oversight of advanced AI models, known as frontier models, that have the potential to pose significant risks to public safety and national security.
¿Cómo prevenir que la inteligencia artificial sea una catástrofe?

Aug 21, 2023 | lavozdegalicia.es | Markus Anderljung |Paul Scharre

En el mes de abril, un grupo de académicos de la Universidad Carnegie Mellon probaron los poderes químicos de la inteligencia artificial (IA). Para hacerlo, conectaron un sistema de IA a un laboratorio hipotético.
How to Prevent an AI Catastrophe

Aug 14, 2023 | foreignaffairs.com | Markus Anderljung |Paul Scharre

In April 2023, a group of academics at Carnegie Mellon University set out to test the chemistry powers of artificial intelligence. To do so, they connected an AI system to a hypothetical laboratory. Then they asked it to produce various substances. With just two words of guidance—“synthesize ibuprofen”—the chemists got the system to identify the steps necessary for laboratory machines to manufacture the painkiller. The AI, as it turned out, knew both the recipe for ibuprofen and how to produce it.
National Security

Quotes of the Day:"I would rather quit public life at seventy, and quit it forever, than to retain public life at a sacrifice to my own self-respect. I will not vote for any law which will make fair for me and foul for another.
Frontier AI Regulation: Managing Emerging Risks to Public Safety

Jul 9, 2023 | cnas.org | Paul Scharre |Elsa Kania |Michael Depp |Markus Anderljung

In this paper, we focus specifically on the regulation of frontier AI models, which we define as highly capable foundation models that could have dangerous capabilities sufficient to pose severe risks to public safety and global security. Examples of such dangerous capabilities include designing new biochemical weapons, producing highly persuasive personalized disinformation, and evading human control.
