Are you paying more attention to AI safety? AI executives are hearing from just about everyone about AI safety. "My mom has entered the group chat as an AI safety advocate," Anthropic's head of public policy, Sarah Heck, said during a live interview Wednesday at Politico's Decoded Summit in Washington. "This moment has really seized lots of folks." The AI safety conversation has exploded since former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon went public with his resignation and his view that Anthropic and OpenAI are "gambling with our lives."
