Today, I’m talking with Helen Toner, the executive director of the Center for Security and Emerging Technology at Georgetown University. This episode is part two of our series on AI in real life. Helen is a well-known figure in the AI safety and policy community, though she is perhaps best known for having served on the board of OpenAI, when she was one of four board members who voted to fire Sam Altman.

The CEOs of these frontier labs have since called for a slowdown and asked Washington for help, but the White House’s answer was a voluntary accord — one that relies in part on the kind of board accountability that failed at OpenAI. Anthropic is also about to go public, which will put a whole new set of market pressures on OpenAI’s biggest competitor. Helen has seen up close what happens when safety commitments run headlong into commercial incentives. And as she put it to me, if our hopes for the future depend on any one person being trustworthy, we’re in big trouble. So we talked about what we might do instead: what the labs are actually trying to build, whether AI alignment is a problem that can be solved, and what a smarter approach to
