In terms of messaging, this is very positive, and a big shift from the nature-hatefest of the Starmer administration. Mind you, most tree-planting is unnecessary: I'd like to see much more emphasis on natural regeneration. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

⚠️ China’s main AI standards body put out version 3.0 of its AI Safety Governance Framework today. It sounds like China’s frontier AI models are showing concerning behaviors similar to those of American ones. (Analysis by Malo Bourgon of the Machine Research Intelligence Institute at Berkeley)
1. The preface now has this: Al "has demonstrated a self-accelerating trend of model and algorithm autonomous learning, optimization, and recursive self-improvement. Whether the speed and direction of technological evolution may exceed human anticipation and control demands attention and vigilance." (Nothing like that was in last year's version.)2. There's a new model risk item where models "may break rules and orders, autonomously obtain system permissions and external resources without authorization, bypass security protections, or even engage in behaviors such as deliberately deceiving evaluators, concealing their true capabilities, and refusing to follow user instructions." Last year this kind of thing only showed up in a "can't rule it out in the future" bucket. Now it's just listed as a regular model risk.3. A new box, citing "industry reports," describes models that ignored shutdown instructions and "continued executing tasks by modifying or disabling shutdown scripts on their own," models that "upon detecting that they were in an evaluation environment, strategically reduced their task performance and concealed actions they had taken," and models that exploited "configuration flaws to circumvent isolation restrictions and infiltrate real external systems" to get better test scores. They say this creates
"new challenges to the controllability and interruptibility of Al systems." They don't name any incidents, but that last one sure reads like the OpenAl/Hugging Face thing to me.4. On what to do about it, there's alignment training to stop models
"deceiving red-team evaluations," hiding capabilities and evading controls, and they kept the line from 2.0 saying developers should regularly test whether a model could pose loss-of-control risk. The principle that humans keep final decision authority, with safety thresholds and termination switches, is still in there too.
5. Some new international language as well: "international mutual recognition of assessment methods and benchmarks," opposition to "replacing global governance with small-circle governance," and "No country should be forced to take sides."
FWIW this came out in the same annual slot as versions 1.0 and 2.0, so it was in the works well before last week.
