Why responsible AI development needs cooperation on safety
A policy research paper from OpenAI identifies four strategies for improving industry cooperation on AI safety norms: communicating risks and benefits, technical collaboration, increased transparency, and incentivizing standards. The authors argue that competition could lead to a 'collective action problem', causing companies to under-invest in safety measures. They hope these strategies will encourage greater cooperation and better global outcomes.
