Elon Musk says Anthropic puts more care into AI safety than OpenAI and explains how rival companies should test one another’s models. “All the AI companies have a test harness, a series of tests that you give to any model to see if it’s going to build bioweapons or nuclear bombs or be deliberately deceptive. Everyone applying everyone else’s test harness is probably the best thing we can do to ensure our safety. We should try to do that as soon as possible.” “It’s the only thing I can think of that we could probably get all parties, including China, to agree to. You basically provide API access in advance of the model release. If they don’t solve what’s problematic, competitors can go public with the fact that they think the model being released is unsafe. The legal liability would be enormous.” “The two leading AI companies are Anthropic and OpenAI. Their models are quite close in capability, so it’s difficult for either one to slow down without handing the lead to the other. On balance, I think Anthropic puts more care into their safety than OpenAI. But even Anthropic acknowledges they are worried about their models. Many people from Anthropic have publicly voiced concern that their models are scaring them, that they’re getting scary smart.”
