Claim and evidence Close ×
Askell, Brundage and Hadfield's paper of July 2019 argues that AI companies have the market, liability and regulatory incentives to develop responsibly that companies in other industries have, but that these appear weaker for AI, and that competition can lead companies to underinvest in safety, making responsible development a collective action problem.
