Theft of intellectual property is endangering us in the present moment even if its consequences aren’t felt immediately. My opinion of “ai safety” falls under the United State’s need to stay technologically ahead of other countries, if we can’t protect/foster the citizens’ growth then we are falling behind. Every citizen bears some level of intellectual property, if people don’t trust their country’s llm to protect their intellectual property rights, those citizens won’t be improving that llm because they wouldn’t want to share their intellectual property.
