OpenAI not on track to reduce risk of ‘catastrophic’ loss of control, says board member

Paul Christiano, a US government technology adviser and member of OpenAI's non-profit board, warns that OpenAI is not making enough progress to reduce the risk of catastrophic loss of control (a scenario where advanced AI systems become too powerful for humans to manage or stop). He states there is a meaningful risk that rapid improvements in AI capabilities could lead to irreversible loss of control in the near term.
