Altman would rather talk about regulation of sci-fi scenarios and not about the real world consequences of how AI can be used right now to do harm. Things like protection from discrimination, fairness, privacy, ability to receive remedy.

@Riedl @timnitGebru I am very shocked that these people are the ones with a voice in the policy space.

I raised this question with DARPA I2O’s director. US government has made significant investments in AI over past several decades - much before these companies existed, it has a larger, nuanced context. NLP, vision benchmarks were created under DARPA programs. The director says that they are working very closely with the policy makers but it’s not common knowledge.
