After such a consequential week for AI, with the leading labs demonstrating real progress, today's news feels especially timely: @SVAngel is launching Project Blueprint, a comprehensive effort to forge consensus among industry leaders and lawmakers around durable solutions to the hardest AI policy challenges so that all Americans can benefit from AI's opportunities. And we've brought on @JayCarney to run it. svangel.com/blueprint We are encouraged by the reaction of Sam Altman, Dario Amodei and Demis Hassabis to the launch of Project Blueprint: Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI: "We have before us a technology of immense and still-unfolding wonder. I believe AI has the power to heal people, to discover cures and to deliver abundance on a scale the world has never known before. But we need a way for the world to build trust in the technology so that we can all get to share these benefits. National safety requirements for the most capable systems are a great first step, ideally building towards a global framework for advanced AI models. I’m glad Ron is bringing the people building AI and policymakers together to help move that work forward.” Dario Amodei, CEO and co-founder, Anthropic: "AI is advancing faster than our institutions can adapt, and the most important decisions about how it is developed and deployed will be made in the next few years. If those decisions are to serve the public, they can't rest with AI companies alone. Industry and policymakers need to work through them together, with an honest, shared understanding of what these systems can do. We're glad to support Project Blueprint's effort to make that possible."  Demis Hassabis, chairman and co-founder of Google DeepMind and the chief scientist of Alphabet: "We have long said that AI development needs to be both bold and responsible. We support bringing industry and lawmakers together around public policies that promote both innovation and safety."
