OpenAI Started a Blog for a New 'Strategic Futures' Team, Asking How Free Society Should Be Restructured Around Transformative AI
OpenAI published 'Introducing AI Futures' on August 20, launching the blog of a new Strategic Futures team. The stated question is how a free society should be restructured to preserve individual rights and agency as transformative AI arrives. The first post is authored by Dean Ball and carries an unusual disclaimer that it reflects the author's views rather than OpenAI's. HN gave it only 29 points and 8 comments, which is itself informative about how the practitioner crowd reads a policy-shop launch. Worth watching as the place OpenAI's regulatory positions get trial-ballooned before they become lobbying.
