Can we democratize AI?
from Untangled Hosted by Charley Johnson
Today, I’m sharing my conversation with Divya Siddarth, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Collective Intelligence Project (CIP) about how we might democratize the development and governance of AI. We discuss: * The CIP’s work on alignment assemblies with Anthropic and OpenAI — what they’ve learned, and why in the world a company would agree to increasing public participation. * The #1 risk of AI as ranked by the public. (Sneak peek: it has nothing to do with rogue robots.) * Are participatory processes good enough to bind companies to the decisions they generate? * How we need to fundamentally change our conception of ‘AI expertise.’ * How worker and public participation can shift the short-term thinking and incentives driving corporate America. * Should AI companies become direct democracies or representative ones? * How Divya would structure public participation if she had a blank sheet of paper and if AI companies had to adopt the recommendations.
