Another exception is David Krueger, an AI researcher and safety advocate who signed that letter and appeared on the episode of the NonZero podcast that we posted today. When I asked him about this— why so few AI safety researchers are talking about international regulation and why so many sound like China hawks—he said, “Five or ten years ago, everyone agreed that we needed international cooperation—everyone I talked to in the safety community. And then I think people went to Washington and started playing insider politics.”
