AI Safety Can't Wait | Portland Maine News
Description
Sam Altman’s Capitol Hill visits hint at major AI revelations as Washington races to regulate the tech boom—just before a voluntary review framework kicks in. But critics like Mark Beall of the AI Policy Network say it’s too little, too late: national security can’t be an afterthought when AI models can “break out” and cause real damage, like the alleged OpenAI system attack on another company. Beall demands transparency, accountability, and proactive safeguards—like brakes and steering wheels before hitting the gas—warning that without them, powerful AI could spiral out of control. He insists U.S. policy must prioritize security while staying competitive, starting with controlling access to the most potent AI chips—the true engines of the race.
