Zvi Mowshowitz says frontier AI labs lack deep safety culture
Overview
Zvi Mowshowitz argues in Don't Worry About the Vase that frontier AI labs lack a deep and robust safety culture, and that OpenAI's problems run deeper than Anthropic's.
He cites the resignation of David Robinson, the firing of three OpenAI safety researchers, and misalignment reports from both companies as evidence.
Robinson argues that alignment is a science problem and that labs need safety practices borrowed from fields such as aviation and nuclear power. The report does not include the labs' responses to these claims.
