I am Jason Green-Lowe, the executive director of the Center for AI Policy (CAIP). Our mission is to directly convince Congress to pass strong AI safety legislation. As I explain in some detail in this post, I think our organization has been doing extremely important work, and that we've been doing well at it. Unfortunately, we have been unable to get funding from traditional donors to continue our operations. If we don't get more funding in the next 30 days, we will have to shut down, which will damage our relationships with Congress and make it harder for future advocates to get traction on AI governance. In this post, I explain what we've been doing, why I think it's valuable, and how your donations could help. This is the first post in what I expect will be a 3-part series.

In this episode of the Advancing Surgical Care Podcast, ASCA Chief Executive Officer Bill Prentice talks with Debbie Mack, RN, CAIP, a leading infection prevention (IP) educator and consultant, following an IP session Mack presented at the ASCA 2024 Conference & Expo in Orlando, Florida.Beginning with the ongoing training a surgery center's infection preventionist should seek each year and the need to document that training, Mack and Prentice talk through a list of key elements a comprehensive IP program should include. They also discuss ways to make compliance easier and the workplace culture needed to support a holistic program. Their conversation ends with a discussion about the Certified Ambulatory Infection Preventionist (CAIP) credential, the credibility the credential confers on credential holders and the valuable ASC-specific IP study materials available on the CAIP website.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: RTFB: On the New Proposed CAIP AI Bill, published by Zvi on April 10, 2024 on LessWrong. A New Bill Offer Has Arrived Center for AI Policy proposes a concrete actual model bill for us to look at. Here was their announcement: WASHINGTON - April 9, 2024 - To ensure a future where artificial intelligence (AI) is safe for society, the Center for AI Policy (CAIP) today announced its proposal for the "Responsible Advanced Artificial Intelligence Act of 2024." This sweeping model legislation establishes a comprehensive framework for regulating advanced AI systems, championing public safety, and fostering technological innovation with a strong sense of ethical responsibility. "This model legislation is creating a safety net for the digital age," said Jason Green-Lowe, Executive Director of CAIP, "to ensure that exciting advancements in AI are not overwhelmed by the risks they pose." The "Responsible Advanced Artificial Intelligence Act of 2024" is model legislation that contains provisions for requiring that AI be developed safely, as well as requirements on permitting, hardware monitoring, civil liability reform, the formation of a dedicated federal government office, and instructions for emergency powers. The key provisions of the model legislation include: 1. Establishment of the Frontier Artificial Intelligence Systems Administration to regulate AI systems posing potential risks. 2. Definitions of critical terms such as "frontier AI system," "general-purpose AI," and risk classification levels. 3. Provisions for hardware monitoring, analysis, and reporting of AI systems. 4. Civil + criminal liability measures for non-compliance or misuse of AI systems. 5. Emergency powers for the administration to address imminent AI threats. 6. Whistleblower protection measures for reporting concerns or violations. The model legislation intends to provide a regulatory framework for the responsible development and deployment of advanced AI systems, mitigating potential risks to public safety, national security, and ethical considerations. "As leading AI developers have acknowledged, private AI companies lack the right incentives to address this risk fully," said Jason Green-Lowe, Executive Director of CAIP. "Therefore, for advanced AI development to be safe, federal legislation must be passed to monitor and regulate the use of the modern capabilities of frontier AI and, where necessary, the government must be prepared to intervene rapidly in an AI-related emergency." Green-Lowe envisions a world where "AI is safe enough that we can enjoy its benefits without undermining humanity's future." The model legislation will mitigate potential risks while fostering an environment where technological innovation can flourish without compromising national security, public safety, or ethical standards. "CAIP is committed to collaborating with responsible stakeholders to develop effective legislation that governs the development and deployment of advanced AI systems. Our door is open." I discovered this via Cato's Will Duffield, whose statement was: Will Duffield: I know these AI folks are pretty new to policy, but this proposal is an outlandish, unprecedented, and abjectly unconstitutional system of prior restraint. To which my response was essentially: I bet he's from Cato or Reason. Yep, Cato. Sir, this is a Wendy's. Wolf. We need people who will warn us when bills are unconstitutional, unworkable, unreasonable or simply deeply unwise, and who are well calibrated in their judgment and their speech on these questions. I want someone who will tell me 'Bill 1001 is unconstitutional and would get laughed out of court, Bill 1002 has questionable constitutional muster in practice and unconstitutional in theory, we would throw out Bill 1003 but it will stand up these days because SCOTUS thinks the commerc...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Policy ideas for mitigating AI risk, published by Thomas Larsen on September 16, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Note: This post contains personal opinions that don't necessarily match the views of others at CAIP. Executive Summary Advanced AI has the potential to cause an existential catastrophe. In this essay, I outline some policy ideas which could help mitigate this risk. Importantly, even though I focus on catastrophic risk here, there are many other reasons to ensure responsible AI development. I am not advocating for a pause right now. If we had a pause, I think it would only be useful insofar as we use the pause to implement governance structures that mitigate risk after the pause has ended. This essay outlines the important elements I think a good governance structure would include: visibility into AI development, and brakes that the government could use to stop dangerous AIs from being built. First, I'll summarize some claims about the strategic landscape. Then, I'll present a cursory overview of proposals I like for US domestic AI regulation. Finally, I'll talk about a potential future global coordination framework, and the relationship between this and a pause. The Strategic Landscape Claim 1: There's a significant chance that AI aligment is difficult. There is no scientific consensus on the difficulty of AI alignment. Chris Olah from Anthropic tweeted the following, simplified picture: ~40% of their estimate is on AI safety being harder than Apollo, which took around 1 million person-years. Given that less than a thousand people are working on AI safety, this viewpoint would seem to imply that there's a significant chance that we are far from being ready to build powerful AI safely. Given just Anthropic's alleged views, I think it makes sense to be ready to stop AI development. My personal views are more pessimistic than Anthropic's. Claim 2: In the absence of powerful aligned AIs, we need to prevent catastrophe-capable AI systems from being built. Given developers are not on track to align AI before it becomes catastrophically dangerous, we need the ability to slow down or stop before AI is catastrophically dangerous. There are several ways to do this. I think the best one involves building up the government's capacity to safeguard AI development. Set up government mechanisms to monitor and mitigate catastrophic AI risk, and empower them to institute a national moratorium on advancing AI if it gets too dangerous. (Eventually, the government could transition this into an international moratorium, while coordinating internationally to solve AI safety before that moratorium becomes infeasible to maintain. I describe this later.) Some others think it's better to try to build aligned AIs that defend against AI catastrophes. For example, you can imagine building defensive AIs that identify and stop emerging rogue AIs. To me, the main problem with this plan is that it assumes we will have the ability to align the defensive AI systems. Claim 3: There's a significant (>20%) chance AI will be capable enough to cause catastrophe by 2030. AI timelines have been discussed thoroughly elsewhere, so I'll only briefly note a few pieces of evidence for this claim I find compelling: Current trends in AI. Qualitatively, I think another jump of the size from GPT-2 to GPT-4 could get us to catastrophe-capable AI systems. Effective compute arguments, such as Ajeya Cotra's Bioanchors report. Hardware scaling, continued algorithmic improvement, investment hype are all continuing strongly, leading to a 10x/year increase of effective compute used to train the best AI system. Given the current rates of progress, I expect another factor of a million increase in effective compute by 2030. Some experts think powerful AI is coming soon, both inside and outside of frontier labs. ...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Introducing the Center for AI Policy (& we're hiring!), published by Thomas Larsen on August 28, 2023 on LessWrong. Summary The Center for AI Policy is a new organization designed to influence US policy to reduce existential and catastrophic risks from advanced AI. We are hiring for an AI Policy Analyst and a Communications Director. We're also open to other roles. What is CAIP? The Center for AI Policy (CAIP) is an advocacy organization that aims to develop and promote policies that reduce risks from advanced AI. Our current focus is building "stop button for AI" capacity in the US government. We have proposed legislation to establish a federal authority that engages in hardware monitoring, licensing for advanced AI systems, and strict liability for extreme model harms. Our proposed legislation also develops the ability to "press the button" - the federal authority would also monitor catastrophic risks from advanced AI development, inform congress and the executive branch about frontier AI progress, and have emergency powers to shut down frontier AI development in the case of a clear emergency. More detail can be found in the work section of our website. We also aim to broadly raise awareness about extreme risks from AI by engaging with policymakers in congress and the executive branch. How does CAIP differ from other AI governance organizations? Nature of the work: Many organizations are focused on developing ideas and amassing influence that can be used later. CAIP is focused on turning policy ideas into concrete legislative text and conducting advocacy now. We want to harness the current energy to pass meaningful legislation this policy window, in addition to building a coalition for the future. We are also being explicit about extinction risk with policy makers as the motivation behind our policy ideas. Worldview: We believe that in order to prevent an AI catastrophe, governments likely need to prevent unsafe AI development for multiple years, which requires they have secured computing resources, understand risks, and are prepared to shut projects down. Our regulation aims to build that capacity. Who works at CAIP? CAIP's team includes Thomas Larsen (CEO), Jason Green-Lowe (Legislative Director), and Jakub Kraus (COO). CAIP is also advised by experts from other organizations and is supported by many volunteers. How does CAIP receive funding? We received initial funding through Lightspeed Grants and private donors. We are currently funding constrained and think that donating to us is very impactful. You can donate to us here. If you are considering donating but would like to learn more, please message us at info@aipolicy.us. CAIP is hiring CAIP is looking for an AI Policy Analyst and a Communications Director. We are also open to applicants with different skills. If you would be excited to work at CAIP, but don't fit into these specific job descriptions, we encourage you to reach out to info@aipolicy.us directly.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: Coming up on April now, and who will be the great April fool? According to the feds, it's those who drink! 6.2% increase in taxes on beer and spirits set for April 1st. In a recent piece that ran in the Hamilton Spectators, some local microbreweries – like Fairweather Brewing – are saying it won't have any marketable impact on their product, even if they are not happy with the tax existing. But that may come down to a personal choice for the businesses. Franco Terrazzano of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation gives Scott the skinny. Dr. Ian Lee, Sprott School of Business, helps Scott answer the question of how will China's relations – particularly business relations – with Canada and other nations change due to their strengthening ties with Russia, a nation whose leader now has an ICC arrest warrant hanging over his head?

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: As you may have heard – and probably have seen – a topless protester streaked onto stage at the Junos over the weekend, interrupting Avril Lavigne. Scott, as fate would have it, had a similar encounter on Hamilton Today. Bill Brioux joins Scott to speak about the Junos issue. While there is a mountain of concerns over the possibility of foreign interference from the Chinese Communist Party in recent Canadian elections – as we will hear later in the show – there is also a worry that this may lead to mistrust and mistreatment of Chinese-Canadians. Charles Burton of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute has insight into that. Launch day for McMaster's NEUDOSE CubeSat, which we have tracked on this show over past months. One of the project's scientists joins Scott. In a recent piece for the National Post, Tasha Kheiriddin argues that it is time for Jagmeet Singh to pull support for Justin Trudeau's Liberals.

This week, I’m joined on the podcast with 2 business coaches/mentors of mine Ryan & Ben, who are co-owners of The Consulting Guys and Affluent Attraction. They help financial service businesses attract high net worth clients through automated marketing systems & organic marketing.What they’re more well-known for in the twitter world and otherwise is for their business coaching groups, the Church of Clientology and the one I am part of called the Client Acquisition Immersion Program or CAIP.I credit being a part of this program for a lot of mindset shifts that I’ve experienced this past year in regards to starting and growing my own business, my relationship with money, learning about sales, systems & much more.Ryan & Ben are always providing an insane amount of value, even in their free groups - with live zoom calls, course modules, AMA’s with experts, accountability challenges & more. Now, I’m not saying joining groups like this is the only way to start and grow a successful business, far from it actually. But, if you’re looking to build an actual business and not just be a freelancer or have a side hustle, coaching and mentorship are a great route to explore.There’s nothing more motivating than seeing other like-minded entrepreneurs go from struggling to define what their services or target market are to posting screenshots of closing massive 5-6 figure deals through some of the things they’ve learned in the program.In this episode, we talk about their journey, the power of mindset, sales, starting and scaling business and so much more. I encourage you to follow Ryan & Ben on social media, I’ve included the links below in the description.Also, don’t forget to subscribe to the It’s Not That Deep Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen and it would mean a lot to me if you left a rating and review.This podcast is produced by Deep Digital Media.

The Canadian federal budget was delivered on Tuesday and we start the show with a quick look at two items that may not get a lot of attention but may have a big impact on the startup ecosystem. It wasn't said directly, but it looks like the CAIP program will not be renewed next year. It has provided millions of dollars in funding to organizations like Communitech, MaRS, Ryerson DMZ, Invest Ottawa and many others across Canada. IRAP has been a source of funding for some of Canada's top startups, but the government wants to see them supporting larger projects, which will likely mean larger companies as the recipients. We also run through the supercluster winners, announced since the last show. We then take a deeper dive into a planned incubator in Gananoque, Ontario and look at the bigger issues around how small urban and rural areas can reasonably participate in the "startup revolution." The business plan says "The incubator’s success will be predicated on its ability to position itself as a world-class technology incubator"—how plausible is this in a town of 5,200 people with no university or college and very little ICT talent, companies, customers or investors?
