Anjney Midha:SB 1047法案对AI模型的监管方式存在严重缺陷,它试图在模型层面进行监管,而不是关注模型的恶意应用。该法案低估了AI技术进步的速度,基于FLOPS的监管方法存在缺陷,因为计算效率的提高和成本的下降会迅速导致更多模型超过阈值。此外,该法案对模型开发者的责任规定是不合理的,将导致AI开发转向其他地区,并扼杀美国的AI创新。该法案对开源项目也具有负面影响,因为它将对微调模型的开发者施加责任,并对衍生模型的定义含糊不清。总而言之,该法案是反竞争的,应该关注的是高风险应用和恶意用户,而不是模型本身。 Anjney Midha还强调了开源对于现代AI发展的重要性,以及该法案对开源AI发展产生的寒蝉效应。他认为,AI模型本身是中性的,真正的威胁来自恶意用户,应该关注的是恶意用户,而不是模型本身的安全性。他还指出,现有的法律框架足以应对主要的AI威胁,应该投资于防御性AI解决方案,而不是限制AI创新。 Derrick Harris:SB 1047法案可能扰乱加州的科技主导地位,对美国构成重大风险。该法案针对的是超过一定计算和成本比率的模型,并要求开发者对其模型的危害性负责。该法案将创建一个新的监管机构,并可能导致监禁。该法案只是冰山一角,美国还有超过600项关于AI的立法正在酝酿中。 Derrick Harris还解释了SB 1047法案中提到的“十的二十六次方浮点运算每秒”(FLOPS)是一个衡量AI模型计算能力的指标,以及该法案中提出的1亿美元的成本门槛也存在缺陷。他认为,过早地对AI进行严格监管是不明智的,应该像互联网监管一样,让其自由发展。

  • Targets models trained above certain compute and cost ratios.
  • Requires developers to certify models won't enable hazardous capabilities.

Shownotes Transcript

On May 21, the California Senate passed bill 1047.

This bill – which sets out to regulate AI at the model level – wasn’t garnering much attention, until it slid through an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 32 to 1 and is now queued for an assembly vote in August that would cement it into law. In this episode, a16z General Partner Anjney Midha and Venture Editor Derrick Harris breakdown everything the tech community needs to know about SB-1047.

This bill really is the tip of the iceberg, with over 600 new pieces of AI legislation swirling in the United States. So if you care about one of the most important technologies of our generation and America’s ability to continue leading the charge here, we encourage you to read the bill and spread the word.
