Given that it is already deployed, increasing the region of its legal availability is very unlikely to increase AI risk.
The EU also has people who might be able to contribute to AI safety research who will contribute less if the frontier models are not available legally in the EU.
I will give a simple argument:
Given that it is already deployed, increasing the region of its legal availability is very unlikely to increase AI risk.
The EU also has people who might be able to contribute to AI safety research who will contribute less if the frontier models are not available legally in the EU.
Therefore, the action has net benefits.
I believe the action’s costs are much less.
