Episode Description

By Akash Wasil et al.

This paper uses scenario planning to show how governments could prepare for AI emergencies. The authors examine three plausible disasters: losing control of AI, AI model theft, and bioweapon creation. They then expose gaps in current preparedness systems, and propose specific government reforms including embedding auditors inside AI companies and creating emergency response units.
