This is scary and dangerous stuff. Each day we’re learning more about the potentially catastrophic threat AI poses to our national security.
We must ensure frontier AI models do not enable a state or rogue actor from developing a devastating weapon or bioweapon.
![Such technical accessories to boundary work are not without
controversy. At the heart of the controversy is a desire for secrecy,
born of shame. For instance, OpenAI developed a watermarking tool
that would enable the precise and accurate detection of ChatGPT-
generated text, but demurred from releasing it, because despite one
2023 survey showing that “people worldwide supported the idea of
an AI detection tool by a margin of four to one”, another survey of
ChatGPT users revealed that “69% believe cheating detection tech-
nology would lead to false accusations of using AI. Nearly 30% said
they would use ChatGPT less if it deployed watermarks and a rival
didn’t” [62]. Users clearly value the ability to use ChatGPT unde-
tected. Without a shaming culture, this valorisation could not exist.
Moreover, a majority of users are already concerned about false
accusations of using AI. Without a shaming culture, this concern
could not exist either](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wlamchyb2ae65fgx75sfaqsq/bafkreibdd7rrgwfofjftioaux2fg62frw2wd25u42asoupgcjgqligvwdy)
