Does anyone know what this Responsible AI team did? Were they working on the AI alignment / control issue, or was it more about curtailing politically undesirable model outputs? I feel like the conflation of these two things is unfortunate because the latter will cause people to turn off the former. It's like a reverse motte and bailey.
These types of teams never last long
Seems like something that should exist as a specialist knowledge team within an existing compliance team i.e. guided by legal concerns primarily.
I honestly believe the best to make AI responsibly is to make it open source. That way no single entity has total control over it, and researchers can study them to better understand how they can be used nefariously as well as in a good way—doing that allows us to build defenses to minimize the risks, and reap the benefits. Meta is already doing that, but other companies and organizations should do that as well.
GNU/Linux is open source. Is it being used responsibly? What is the "it" that no single entity has control over? You have absolutely no control of what your next door neighbor is doing with open source. Hey, if we want alcohol to be made responsibly, everyone should have their own still, made from freely redistributed blueprints. That way no single entity has control.

Great, Russia and China get the ability to use it or adapt it for any reason they want without any oversight.
There is no obvious reason they couldn't just train one themselves, or merely steal existing weights given enough time.
How convenient! Turns out they don’t give the slightest damn about “Responsible AI” in the first place. It’s nice to roll out news like this while everyone else is distracted.

Just for the record, people put a lot of effort into making safe bullets and shotguns. Neither is going to go bang unless you make it go bang. Definitely not pointless.
The safety is for accidental usage. If the intent is to kill a safety isn't going to stop anything. All the unsafe things I can do with AI I can do with Google. No safety on Google. why? Liability is less of an issue.
