Greg Brockman expressed his belief that coordinated pacing in AI development among major companies is possible, despite the competitive landscape. He noted that the industry is moving towards a phase where the technology's impact is greater than any single entity, emphasizing the need for collaboration on safety cases and oversight. Brockman sees the recent open letter signed by industry leaders as a positive first step towards this coordination.
“I absolutely believe it's possible. And I see I think it's going to take steps to get there. Yeah. But this is something we've been really investing in and thinking about. And really even thinking about for almost a decade, right, that it's always been kind of clear that they're going to go through a commercial phase that's really about competition.”
“But there will be a phase where the technology itself, it's just so much bigger than any person, any company, even any country, right? It's really about humanity as a whole.”
“Now, I think that there's work to be done here. And I think that the open letter is a good example of just a first baby step. And that was actually something we were very involved in helping craft that language. That was actually a pretty collaborative effort.”
