Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Recent developments in large language models and computer automated systems more generally (colloquially called ‘artificial intelligence’) have given rise to concerns about potential social risks of AI. Of the numerous industry-driven principles put forth over the past decade to address these concerns, the Future of Life Institute’s Asilomar AI principles are particularly noteworthy given the large number of wealthy and powerful signatories. This paper highlights the need for critical examination of the Asilomar AI Principles. The Asilomar model, first developed for biotechnology, is frequently cited as a successful policy approach for promoting expert consensus and containing public controversy. Situating Asilomar AI principles in the context of a broader history of Asilomar approaches illuminates the limitations of scientific and industry self-regulation. The Asilomar AI process shapes AI’s publicity in three interconnected ways: as an agenda-setting manoeuvre to promote longtermist beliefs; as an approach to policy making that restricts public engagement; and as a mechanism to enhance industry control of AI governance.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
