Import AI 459: AI oversight is difficult; scaling laws for protein folding models; and pricing the extinction risk of AI systems
AI summary
Import AI 459 focuses on three studies: a UK AI Safety Institute paper says automated alignment research using AI to supervise AI training is not a universal solution and is harder to implement than expected; other work covers scaling laws for protein-folding models and pricing AI-system extinction risks.
