This week made something clear: it’s time to stop treating concentration of power in AI as a solution rather than a risk. Safety and centralized control are not the same thing, so let's stop talking about them like they are. Yet scaling laws are real. The threat of AI cyber-hackers disrupting the global economy is real. The threat of somebody using AI to create a biological weapon is real. AI safety is a species-level concern and we need the best minds in our species from across institutions working on solutions, not locked outside the closed doors of frontier AI development. We need a shared research commons at the intersection of industry, academia, and the public good—an open research ecosystem with access to billions of $ in compute, SoTA models, and strict protocols for dissemination that ensure the most impactful discoveries in the history of our species are shared in a safe way that benefits all of humanity. Not blind open source ideology. Not closed access as safety theater. An open frontier, shaped by many and accountable to all.
