Subscribe to the channel today! [2:10] On with the Show! Our guest today is one of the liveliest RIMS members I know! She is Emily Buckley, the Insurance Manager for Specialized Bicycle Components, a global performance brand. [2:23] Emily is the Vice President of the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter. At RISKWORLD 2026, Emily was named to the RIMS Honor Roll in 2026. Emily made her RIMScast debut in 2024 for National Bike Safety Month in Man, and we're recording in May again. [2:47] We'll have a lot of fun talking about bicycle safety and how Emily embeds safety into all aspects of risk management and the risk culture over at Specialized Bicycle Components. [2:59] Emily has had a remarkable career at Specialized. She is the company's first-ever dedicated risk manager. She has built a modern enterprise-ready risk and insurance function from the ground up, which we are going to talk about today. [3:12] We'll talk about her risk philosophies, her approach to polycrisis and supply chain risk management, and why her involvement in the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter has been so critical for her career. Let's get to it! [3:27] Interview! Emily Buckley, Welcome Back to RIMScast! [3:50] Emily says receiving the RIMS Honor Roll award seemed surreal. It was very cool to be onstage, be recognized, and have the village she had built around herself there supporting her. Everyone was so excited for her. It was one of the coolest things she had ever experienced. [4:27] Justin calls Emily the Risk Queen of Denver and the Greater Denver Area and says she has a lot of support behind her. She's "got heat!" [4:48] Justin is recording this episode during National Bicycle Safety Month. This is Emily's month. At Specialized Bicycle Components, every day is National Bicycle Safety Month! [5:19] Justin talks about safety being embedded into the manufacturing and shipping of bicycles. [5:34] Emily says every day, even when she is sleeping, safety is on her mind. [5:46] Specialized Bicycle Components has a Safety Team. Emily's broker has a Safety Specialist assigned to her account. Emily has connected those two teams. She is a liaison between them, and she works very closely with her Safety Team at Specialized Bicycle Components. [6:02] Emily has monthly meetings with groups at Specialized Bicycle Components to discuss safety initiatives. She says the Safety Team at Specialized does a phenomenal job. [6:26] Emily says Risk Management is a department of many hats. She tells people that if there is pushback on an initiative, I'll be the bad guy. Tell them, Sorry, Risk Management is making us do this. Sometimes that's a little bit easier to sell. [7:11] Emily has been practicing risk management for almost 15 years. She started at Kroenke Sports and Entertainment in Customer Interaction, including tossing T-shirts into the crowd for the Denver Nuggets. People wanted those shirts. [9:05] When Kroenke posted a job for a risk analyst, Emily applied, and Peggy Miller hired her. Emily talked about this in her past appearance on RIMScast. Peggy is the President of Rocky Mountain RIMS. Peggy taught Emily almost everything Emily knows about risk management. [9:34] Peggy took Emily under her wing. She taught Emily how to review contracts for risk management wording and insurance requirements. Emily could go to Peggy with any question, and Peggy would explain it. Emily says that Peggy is a phenomenal boss. [10:07] Emily found an opportunity at Specialized when it was time to spread her wings. She still calls Peggy from time to time for advice. Peggy is always willing to help. [10:34] Emily joined Specialized Bicycle Components and became the risk management department. She came in two or three months before they did their insurance renewal, so it was initiation by firehose. [10:53] It was a great opportunity to learn about the program. She was also educating them about what risk management does and how they should be running their program, and educating them about insurance requirements. [11:16] Emily says Specialized has an amazing executive team and ownership. They were so receptive to all the ideas Emily brought them. They also had a lot of creative ideas. As a risk manager, it was fun to come into that environment. [11:49] The risk department has not grown since Emily joined Specialized. [12:21] Emily started an ERM Program at Specialized. It takes a team, and it takes the right partners. Emily thinks every company will benefit from an ERM Program. Stepping into a manufacturing company very dependent on the supply chain, Emily saw that ERM was a must. [12:49] Emily worked with the right partners, did a couple of different tabletops, and hyper-focused on three or four ERM initiatives, for which she built the ERM foundation and the risk management foundation on top. Every project she works on goes back to those initiatives. [13:24] Emily says she is very fortunate to have the ear of the executive leadership. [13:32] One of the mantras at Specialized Bicycle Components is Innovate or Die. Emily has taken that to heart in Risk Management and ERM. Emily is constantly trying to find ways to make the ERM stronger and better, going back to those three or four initiatives. [13:51] Emily thinks outside the box. She has seen some products that don't completely fit Specialized, but by working with the service providers and saying she likes this product, but she needs it to do this, she has found some amazing service providers and partners to work with.  [14:24] As a risk manager, Emily lives in worst-case scenarios. Professionally and personally, she can never get away from worst-case scenarios. A good risk manager is always preparing for the worst-case scenario, always thinking, what is the absolute worst thing that could happen. [14:46] Emily says one of the hardest things is realizing that a lot of people don't live in that headspace. When she goes to teams and tells them the worst thing that can happen, they ask if she is OK. She insists that this worst-case scenario is something they need to think about. [15:12] That's where education comes in. We need to think about it. If this worst-case scenario happens, all of these ripple effects hit every portion of the company. [15:43] Emily says Specialized has been around so long, and with the leadership and experts they have in place, Emily is amazed every day at the team that Specialized has assembled. She says they are the best in their class. There are Olympic and professional athletes on the team. [16:43] A service provider noticed that Specialized Bicycle Components recruits the best people in the world. They want that experience so they can build a better product with better processes. [17:07] A Quick Break! There are so many other wonderful RIMS events coming up in 2026.

[19:13] Justin speaks about the profile of Emily Buckley in the RIMS Risk Management Magazine Awards Edition. It mentions that Emily consolidated fragmented global insurance structures into a unified strategy across more than 30 countries. [19:38] Emily says, trying to get the insurance together at a global company was hard. A lot of people were autonomous, getting their own insurance and doing their own thing. In almost 15 years as a risk manager, Emily learned that insurance is very touchy for a lot of people. [20:23] Insurance costs a lot of money for something that you can't see. You're not using it unless something bad has happened. So it's a very sensitive subject for a lot of people. Emily says it's a job that won't ever really be done because there are so many different moving parts. [21:03] Emily says that in all the different countries we're in, every country has different insurance laws, different ways to buy and pay for insurance, and what kind of insurance you have to have. [21:13] Emily says in some countries, I have to have a locally placed general liability policy, but the property policy that I place on a global level will sit over that. In a different country, I have to have a locally placed general liability/property and a locally placed stock throughput. [21:31] For almost 40 different countries, you have to know which countries you have to have insurance in. That's when your broker becomes invaluable. [21:48] It's helpful to have a foreign team on your broker who are subject matter experts in placing locally placed policies. Emily says she would not be able to do that without the team at her broker, Brown & Brown.  [22:03] Emily talks about educating the people at your company: This is what we currently have, and this is what we need. We need it in almost 40 countries. These 20 are our top priority. You tier them down so you're not throwing everything at the wall. [22:27] You're formulating a plan, then educating and speaking with the people in your company. A lot of questions come up, not only about general liability, but also cyber, and directors & officers. [22:37] It's a sensitive subject that you have to take your time with. Build a relationship with those offices so that when something does happen, or they have a question, they come to you. [23:04] You will always be making connections with your offices, making sure they're happy with their insurance, they understand it, and they have a local contact. If something happens in Taiwan, they need a local contact who can answer questions and relay that to the global team. [24:12] Emily says that every year, there are two or three problem countries, from an insurance perspective, where the carrier or broker has thrown a curveball. Sometimes she has had to pull people out of the program and put them on their own. It's a constantly moving target. [25:13] Emily says at Kroenke, she and Peggy did a business continuity tabletop, where they sat down with all the different department heads at Ball Arena (Pepsi Center, then) and walked through scenarios. They presented a worst-case scenario tabletop with 30 people in the room. [25:52] Emily and Peggy also did a couple of cyber tabletop exercises. Emily stresses how important it is to do a cyber tabletop with your executive and leadership team. They're always amazed at how many different small issues and questions come up that they never thought of. [26:35] Emily says her leadership team at Specialized is fantastic. They've been very supportive. She can throw ideas at them, and they'll say, "Let's do it." [26:49] Justin says people receive these awards from RIMS not just for their achievements in risk management, but also for what they give back to the broader risk management community or their local chapters. [27:09] Justin says Emily is very involved in the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter and is a great Networker and is very plugged in. Justin says that if it weren't for Emily, he doesn't think he would have gotten Rich Lenkov from SERMA on the show this year. (Shout out to Rich!) [27:40] Emily says she started going to the Rocky Mountain RIMS Chapter when she was an analyst, working under Peggy Miller. She remembers walking into a Lunch and Learn. Going to Chapter meetings was very inspiring. She wanted to be that knowledgeable one day. [29:10] Emily says this industry is built on your connections to people and how you know people. She says we have the best people in our chapter. We're very involved with students and RRP. [29:24] Emily tells students in RRP, "Come to our meetings. If you don't know anybody, you know me. I will introduce you to everybody. This is where your career is going to take off. This is where you're going to be able to make steps and strides and really make connections." [30:11] Emily says she cannot say enough great things about Rocky Mountain RIMS. She thinks they have one of the best chapters in the U.S., because they have the best people. [30:24] Justin recalls that Ondrea Matthews with CoorsTek was on the show last year. She is in Rocky Mountain RIMS. Emily says Ondrea is one of the best people she knows. Justin says she had fascinating stories. A link to her RIMScast episode is in the show notes. [31:02] Emily says when she joined Specialized, she told them she's a Rocky Mountain RIMS board member, she speaks at conferences, and is a guest lecturer at CU Denver. They were super supportive. [31:47] Emily says Specialized wants to put the best product on the market, and Emily takes that into risk management and insurance. She wants to create the best risk program that she can. She wants to work with the best service providers that she can. [32:12] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period is now open, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [32:32] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026. Award notifications will be sent out in late July. [32:57] General Grant applications are open, and the application deadline is July 30th. Internship Grant applications open on August 15th and close on October 15th. [32:59] Links to each of these grants are in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [33:07] The Spencer 2026 Funding Their Future Gala will be held on Thursday, September 17th, from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m. at a different venue this year. It will be at the fabulous Waldorf Astoria in New York City. [33:23] Sponsorship opportunities and benefits are available now. A link to the Funding Their Future Gala is in this episode's show notes. [33:32] Be on the lookout for some of the honorees and Spencer Board members to join RIMScast in June and July. [33:41] Let's Conclude Our Interview with RIMS 2026 Honor Roll Recipient Emily Buckley! [33:48] Justin mentions the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. The RIMS ERM Engage Group is a member-only offshoot of SERMC for people to have candid dialogues. All RIMS members have exclusive access to the ERM Engage Group. Emily is a member. [34:38] Emily says the ERM Engage Group gets together monthly for an hour. Morgan O'Rourke, VP of Editorial at RIMS, leads it. Everyone brings issues, or Morgan will have a guest speaker. Emily says it's just such a great place to go and learn from industry peers with similar issues. [35:55] Emily is not trying to reinvent the wheel. If she can bring the problems she is dealing with to a group of professionals, ask how they have done it in the past, and get 10 or 20 ideas, it's amazing. [36:13] Emily recommends the movie, Project Hail Mary, which she calls amazing. [36:27] Justin talks about the monthly guest speaker, often from SERMC, who presents a topic and then engages the group in discussion. The Engage group lets the leaders see who the next ERM leaders are going to be through their participation. It's very interactive. [37:32] If you are a RIMS member, just check out the RIMS ERM Engage Group. Justin says Emily's involvement is above and beyond, not just for her job, but for RIMS, so he was not surprised she received the 2026 RIMS Honor Roll; it's well deserved. [38:18] Emily loves her job. She loves this industry.  [38:40] Emily admits her blood caffeine content was through the roof, preparing for the awards ceremony. Emily looked it up. She is the 43rd recipient of the Risk Management Honor Roll in 75 years of RIMS. She has the award in her window in her office. It is cool to be celebrated. [40:26] Emily says her award makes it into everything. After she got it, she carried it around with her. At lunch, it was sitting on the table. At dinner, it was sitting on the table. She carried it onto the plane with her. [41:22] In the profile about Emily, it talked about perseverance in mountain biking. Juston asks Emily for her inspiration for the next generation of risk professionals. [42:04] Emily's words: "Keep going. You're going to fail, and that's fine. It's part of the journey. Fail. Learn the lesson or lessons, but keep going. Always keep looking at the horizon, saying, OK, I'm going to get there. I'm going to get there, I'm going to get there. [42:21] "The absolute most important thing is, have fun on the way." Emily says she did a little dance on the awards stage, and some students told her they loved seeing her having fun with it. It made Emily's day for them to stop and tell her. "If you're not having fun, what's the point?" [43:21] Justin tells Emily, We look forward to more great things from you in the coming years. We thank you, and we congratulate you again. [45:33] Special thanks again to Emily Buckley of Specialized Bicycle Components for joining us here on RIMScast!

**Clay Edwards Show – Storm Aftermath Scams: Fake “Entergy Safety Team” Hustlers Exposed** Jamie Creel of Shelter Insurance breaks down the devastation from the recent South Mississippi tornadoes in Lincoln County and Bogue Chitto, then goes straight into the scams already popping up in the aftermath. While his team was on-site at 6:30 a.m. blacking in a customer's half-destroyed house and clearing debris to prevent further rain damage, a guy rolls up in a truck with a skid steer wearing a bright orange “Entergy Safety Team” shirt. He offers to clean everything up fast… until Jamie asks if he actually works for Entergy. The guy admits he doesn't. Jamie warns listeners loud and clear: right after a major storm, hustlers and scammers swarm in pretending to be utility workers or offering immediate cleanup and repairs. They prey on families at their most vulnerable. His advice — call your actual insurance agent first, know exactly what your policy covers, and be extremely wary of anyone showing up uninvited in official-looking gear trying to pressure you into quick work. Unfiltered, no sugar added reality radio at its finest.

Sometimes trying to help by giving a Happy Warning can backfire, But that doesn't mean that it's necessarily the wrong thing to do,  We can only do our best and learn from each pitfall and quagmire, And if that can help even one person then that is a thing of great value. [full text below] Ep. 450 - Happy Warning We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! I like all different kinds of people be they quiet or loud, normal or weird, I've gone to events, scoped out conventions, and attended discussion groups, I've made friends with all sorts, from the well-respected to the deeply feared, I'm just looking for connection be it with scientists or touring theater troupes. Because meeting people from all over allows you to learn from their perspectives, Some are nice, some are mean, some are at times nice, and other times mean, But I still consider it valuable and enriching to explore various collectives, You might just find your next best friend in places you never would've otherwise seen. I've met people at art and film festivals, writer's circles and fanclubs of all sorts, Some were kind and welcoming to everyone, and others were a little less so, One such bunch had a truly diverse and respectful membership by all reports, Until I found out that there were a few bad apples, who others wished would just go. I try not to listen to gossip, of course, because you never know what's true, And this crowd seemed to take safety very seriously, there was even a committee, If you wanted to attend their gatherings you had to prove you shared that view, And then several newbies, all of them women, asked me to become a trustee. I declined, not wanting to judge others or become some sort of guard or cop, But they kept bugging me, it got to the point where I felt like I wanted to scream, Why was it so important? And so they told me, and their answer made me stop. Because, they said, we want at least one non-creepy guy on the Safety Team. One? You mean there's not even one? But, they all seem so perfectly cool. Well, you're not a girl, they said. Which I had to admit was true, since I'm not, So, then I felt like I had no choice but to join and so I waded into the cesspool, And almost immediately I was asked to evaluate others--really put me on the spot. But that's what I joined for, so I identified the predators as best I could, Which the women appreciated, but oddly the guys were less keen on that point, And pretty soon the word was out that I was spreading gossip--and that's never good, The guys turned on me and turned others against me too until I had to blow that joint. But it wasn't gossip, you see--if anything, I'd been trying to contextualize things, Maybe the guys were lonely, or they hadn't learned how to show respect, But all they heard was that I was talking about them with all the suspicion that brings, And I started to sour about the whole place, where I'd only ever wanted to connect. Sometimes trying to help by giving a Happy Warning can backfire, But that doesn't mean that it's necessarily the wrong thing to do,  We can only do our best and learn from each pitfall and quagmire, And if that can help even one person then that is a thing of great value. Haha Yowza

I hope you've had another fantastic week. To all my US-based folks, I hope you have some exciting plans for the Memorial Day weekend. And, regardless of what you're celebrating this weekend, what better way to kick it off than catching up on the latest happenings at the intersection of business, tech, and human experience. With that, let's jump right into it: AI Adult Content (Part 2) - I've been caught off guard by people's responses to things I say many times over the years, but the reaction to my warning about OpenAI's exploration of using its tech for "responsible use" in adult media was exceptionally surprising. The craziest part was the vast majority of the reactions weren't directly to anything I said but what people assumed was implied by what I said. So, I thought I'd take the opportunity to set the record straight. OpenAI Dissolves Safety Team - Did the chicken or the egg come first? Jan and Llya's recent departure from OpenAI and the related dissolusion of the long-term safety team seems like a similar debate. While there's a lot of hype over draconian HR policy and public statements about the long-term conflict between exec members, what's really happening under the surface is a tale as old as time. OpenAI + Reddit = ? - Unfortunately, my days of teaching middle school math won't be much help in solving that equation. However, the deal between OpenAI and Reddit has no shortage of risks and considerations as we think about how these LLMs will make decisions and ultimately influence people in what they think and how they behave. Goodbye DEI; Hello Inclusion - As a Pheonix rises from the ashes, so inclusion seems to be rising from the remains of DEI. However, what does that really mean and what are the implications on workplace practices and policies? While the DEI train lost its way in an effort to make the workplace a better place for everyone, I'm not convinced that completely decoupling diversity and equity from the larger DEI-train is the right move. Show Notes: In this weekly update, Christopher unpacks several critical topics at the crossroads of business, technology, and human experience. The episode begins with a reflection on the backlash received over Christopher's concerns about OpenAI's potential venture into adult entertainment. He responds to criticism, clarifies his stance from a biblical worldview, and discusses the broader societal implications of adult media, challenging both religious and secular perspectives. Shifting gears, the discussion moves to OpenAI's recent controversies, including the public exits of two key executives due to safety concerns, and a new partnership with Reddit. Christopher addresses the potential dangers and benefits of this partnership, emphasizing the importance of individual responsibility in navigating AI's evolving landscape. Finally, the episode touches on the shifting narrative in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), highlighting the rise of 'inclusion' as the new focus. Christopher encourages listeners to engage respectfully with differing viewpoints and underscores the importance of individual discernment in these complex issues. 00:00 - Introduction 01:06 - Addressing the Backlash 04:52 - Navigating Criticism and Misunderstandings 08:26 - The Impact of Adult Media 18:32 - AI in Adult Entertainment 24:16 - OpenAI's Leadership Shake-Up 27:29 - Navigating AI Ethics and Safety Concerns 30:00 - The Business Pressures on AI Development 32:48 - Personal Responsibility in the Age of AI 35:46 - OpenAI's Deal with Reddit 43:03 - The Evolution of DEI to Inclusion #ai #OpenAi #ethics #DEI #futureofwork

Welcome to a new episode of Discover Daily, the AI-generated podcast curated by Perplexity to satisfy your curiosity about the latest in tech, science, and culture. I'm your host Alex, and in today's episode, we explore significant changes at OpenAI, a historic milestone for the Dow Jones, the ambitious goals of the Blue Brain Project, the puzzling behavior of orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar, and the evolutionary remnants of goosebumps.OpenAI has recently disbanded its Superalignment team, raising concerns about the company's commitment to AI safety. This team was dedicated to ensuring that artificial general intelligence systems remain aligned with human goals. Despite the departure of key figures like Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, OpenAI continues to integrate safety considerations into its broader research efforts. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has surpassed the 40,000 mark for the first time, driven by easing inflation and significant gains in technology stocks, particularly those associated with artificial intelligence.The Blue Brain Project aims to create a digital reconstruction of the mammalian brain, starting with the mouse brain, to understand brain structure and function. Despite its achievements, the project faces challenges such as the complexity of simulations and ethical considerations. Additionally, orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar have resumed ramming yachts, puzzling scientists with their behavior.

If you're a seasoned Podcast Listener, this podcast will be different from most you listen to.  It's based on exactly what the name implies - Warehouse Safety Tips.  And since the people in that industry are busy - we know time is money so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible. And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast! Safely Navigating Factories and Warehouses Navigating the bustling environment of factories and warehouses requires a keen awareness of safety protocols to prevent accidents and ensure a smooth operational flow. Although there are hundreds (If not THOUSANDS) of potential tips we could share on this subject - here are five great tips to get you started for dealing with common hazards such as wet surfaces, cluttered walkways, and the use of ladders. 1. Prioritize Cleanliness and Dryness on Floors Wet surfaces are a leading cause of slips and falls in industrial settings. Ensure that all spills are promptly cleaned and that mats, signs, or anti-slip flooring are used in areas prone to wetness. Regular maintenance checks for leaks or other sources of moisture can prevent these hazards before they pose a risk. 2. Keep Walkways and Exits Clear Cluttered walkways are not just an inconvenience but a major safety hazard. Ensure that all aisles, exits, and access points are free from obstruction. This not only aids in preventing trips and falls but also ensures a clear path for emergency evacuations. Regular audits of workspace organization can help maintain clear pathways. 3. Safe Ladder Use is Crucial Regarding ladder safety in factories and warehouses, it's crucial to ensure that ladders are sturdy, appropriate, and regularly inspected for damage to prevent accidents. Ensure your Safety Team trains all staff using ladders on the "three points of contact" rule—maintaining two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand on the ladder at all times—to ensure stability and reduce the risk of falls. Additionally, positioning ladders on solid, level ground and never exceeding the maximum load capacity are vital practices. By combining these ladder safety tips into a comprehensive approach, workplaces can significantly minimize the risk of injuries, fostering a safer and more efficient environment for all employees. 4. Implement a Robust Training Program Education is key to prevention. Conduct regular training sessions on the correct procedures for handling wet surfaces, navigating cluttered areas, and safely using ladders. Engaging employees in safety drills and discussions reinforces the importance of these practices. 5. Encourage a Culture of Safety Foster an environment where safety is everyone's responsibility. Encourage employees to report potential hazards and give feedback on safety protocols. Recognizing and rewarding safe behavior can motivate staff to adhere to safety guidelines. Integrating these tips into your daily operations can create a safer, more efficient workplace environment. Remember, a commitment to safety is a sign of a professional and responsible organization.

In a significant organizational shift, Musk, along with Chief Executive Linda Yaccarino, will be at the helm of the platform's trust and safety team. This team, responsible for content moderation, has been in the limelight following concerns about potential spikes in harmful content. Yet, Musk and Yaccarino seem poised and ready to address these challenges. Under the new structure, Musk will oversee X's product and engineering team, while Yaccarino will manage all other divisions, including human resources, legal, finance, sales, and operations. The duo's stewardship promises to usher in a new era for X, potentially redefining the norms of social media engagement and safety. Yaccarino has also disclosed plans to recruit a new leader for brand safety and suitability. But what does this all mean for X's future? We're set to dive into this and more in today's episode.

LW - Ways I Expect AI Regulation To Increase Extinction Risk by 1a3orn

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: Ways I Expect AI Regulation To Increase Extinction Risk, published by 1a3orn on July 4, 2023 on LessWrong. The following are some very short stories about some of the ways that I expect AI regulation to make x-risk worse. I don't think that each of these stories will happen. Some of them are mutually exclusive, by design. But, conditional upon AI heavy regulations passing, I'd strongly expect the dynamics pointed at in more than one of them to happen. Pointing out potential costs of different regulations is a necessary part of actual deliberation about regulation; like all policy debates, AI policy debates should not appear one-sided. If someone proposes an AI policy, and doesn't actively try to consider potential downsides -- or treats people who bring up these downsides as an opponent -- they are probably doing something closer to propaganda than actual policy work. All these stories have excessive detail; these are archetypes meant to illustrate patterns more than they are predictions. Before mentioning one fix that would stop a problem, consider whether it would be subject to similar problems in the same class. (a) Misdirected Regulations Reduce Effective Safety Effort; Regulations Will Almost Certainly Be Misdirected "Alice, have you gotten the new AI model past the AMSA [AI and ML Safety Administration] yet?" said Alex, Alice's manager. "We need their approval of the pre-deployment risk-assessment to launch." "I'm still in correspondence with them," said Alice, wincing. "The model is a little more faceblind than v4 -- particularly in the case of people with partially shaved heads, facial tattoos, or heavy piercings -- so that runs into the equity clauses and so on. They won't let us deploy without fixing this." "Sheesh," said Alex. "Do we know why the model is like this?" Alice shrugged. "Well, getting this model past the AMSA is your number one priority," Alex said. "Check if you can do some model surgery to patch in the facial recognition from v4. It should still be compatible." "Alex," said Alice. "I'm not really worried about the face-blindness. It's a regression, but it should have minimal impact." "I mean, I agree," grinned Alex, "but don't put that in an email." "But," Alice continued, hesitantly, "I'm really concerned about some of the capabilities of the model, which I don't think we've explored completely. I know that it passed the standard safety checks, and I know I've explored some of its capabilities, but I think this is much much more important than -- " "Alice," interrupted Alex. "We've gone over this before. You're on the Alignment and Safety Team. That means part of your job is to make sure the model passes AMSA standards. That's what the Alignment and Safety team does." "But the AMSA regulations went through Congress before Ilya's Abductor was even invented!" Alice said. "I know the regs are out of date; you know the regs out of date; everyone knows they're out of date, but they haven't even begun to change yet!--" "Alice," interrupted Alex again. "Sorry for interrupting. And look, I'm really sorry about the situation in general. But you've spent two whole months on this already. I let you bring in Aaron on the problem, and he spent a whole month. Neither of you have found anything dangerous." He continued: "I've shielded you from pressure from my boss for a while now. He was understanding the first three weeks, impatient the next three weeks, and has been increasingly irritated since. I wish we had more time for you, but we can't just ignore the AMSA -- it's the law. I need you to work on this and only this, or you're fired." I expect actual instances of misdirected safety effort from safety laws to be far more universal, and only moderately more hidden, than is indicated in this dialogue. If you think this is unlikely, consider IRBs, and co...
