Greg Jensen, CIO of Bridgewater, argued that concentration of power, specifically control over compute, is the major AI risk to be regulated. He proposed taxing entities controlling over 5% of compute and using the funds to build distributed, open-source AI infrastructure for researchers and safety initiatives.
“We have to deal with the concentration of power. In two years, OpenAI and Anthropic are going to control 35% to 50% of the world's compute.”
“The proposal is to essentially tax any entity that controls more than 5% of the compute and use those funds to build out a distributed and open source AI infrastructure.”
“I don't think we should have regulations that prevent companies from scaling up. Scaling is extremely important for making AI more capable, safer, and more accessible to all.”
