AI Governance Proposal: Control AI by Controlling Compute
February 16, 2024 by
To control compute – to squeeze or open the spigot of processing power – is to control AI. In doing so, AI can be steered toward beneficial results while avoiding, or punishing, bad ones. That’s the argument forwarded in a white paper from 15 research centers and universities in the U.S., Canada and the UK – and OpenAI….
