A report commissioned by the U.S. State Department suggests practical measures to prevent the emerging threats of advanced artificial intelligence, including the weaponization of AI and the threat of losing control over the technology. The report, titled, “Defense in Depth: An Action Plan to Increase the Safety and Security of Advanced AI,” was compiled by Gladstone AI, an AI safety company founded by brothers Jeremie and Edouard Harris. Work on the action plan began in October 2022, a month before the release of ChatGPT. It involved conversations with more than 200 people, including researchers and executives at frontier AI labs, cybersecurity experts and national security officials in several countries.
