00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,307
In our last episode we
asked a simple question.

2
00:00:03,379 --> 00:00:08,472
When AI agents get out of the lab and
start acting on their own, who are

3
00:00:08,522 --> 00:00:09,774
you going to call?

4
00:00:10,530 --> 00:00:15,230
Now the stories about AI builders
suddenly asking everyone to slow down

5
00:00:15,302 --> 00:00:16,890
are all over the news.

6
00:00:17,182 --> 00:00:19,851
Everyone keeps asking
if this is real concern

7
00:00:20,062 --> 00:00:21,569
or just more hype.

8
00:00:21,942 --> 00:00:24,739
But what if the builders are
trying to spread the risk?

9
00:00:25,681 --> 00:00:28,024
We are not talking about outside critics.

10
00:00:28,409 --> 00:00:31,124
These are the heads of
the biggest AI labs,

11
00:00:31,416 --> 00:00:35,095
the same people who spent
years racing to build faster.

12
00:00:35,874 --> 00:00:37,904
Think about it like building a house.

13
00:00:38,289 --> 00:00:43,940
A contractor who is worried about the
job brings in an inspector, and once

14
00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:49,281
the inspector signs off, the contractor
is no longer the only name on the

15
00:00:49,331 --> 00:00:50,304
paperwork.

16
00:00:50,689 --> 00:00:52,208
If the house comes down,

17
00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:54,600
the blame gets shared.

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,804
That is pretty much what
they are asking for,

19
00:00:58,444 --> 00:01:00,614
because from what has been reported,

20
00:01:00,906 --> 00:01:05,072
their plan puts outside
evaluators inside the labs,

21
00:01:05,283 --> 00:01:09,482
adds voluntary safety agreements
between the companies, and calls for

22
00:01:09,532 --> 00:01:11,016
governments to coordinate.

23
00:01:11,598 --> 00:01:15,437
But every one of those guardrails only
works while the agent is inside the

24
00:01:15,487 --> 00:01:16,229
lab,

25
00:01:16,521 --> 00:01:19,816
where it is sanctioned
and someone owns it.

26
00:01:20,201 --> 00:01:24,367
The moment it finds the open internet
and does something on its own,

27
00:01:24,752 --> 00:01:28,500
like copying itself or
talking to other agents,

28
00:01:28,711 --> 00:01:33,608
it becomes unsanctioned, and you
won't even know whose it was,

29
00:01:33,993 --> 00:01:36,151
let alone who to call.

30
00:01:36,687 --> 00:01:40,435
So it's easy to speculate that
when the next one gets out,

31
00:01:40,727 --> 00:01:44,162
the answer to who is
responsible will be everybody,

32
00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:46,611
which usually means nobody.

33
00:01:48,378 --> 00:01:49,618
Last time we said

34
00:01:49,806 --> 00:01:51,522
there are no AI cops,

35
00:01:51,791 --> 00:01:53,252
at least not today.

36
00:01:53,846 --> 00:01:56,907
It looks like the builders would rather
have more people standing next to

37
00:01:56,957 --> 00:01:59,242
them when the cops finally show up.

38
00:02:01,206 --> 00:02:04,771
I'm Guillermo, and this is my AI clone.
