Scales Tipping Toward Transformation
Capabilities to automatically generate written content, computer code and more make systems like ChatGPT springboards for human progress if developed judiciously — but societal hazards if left unchecked.

Unprecedented Accessibility
No longer siloed in research labs or niche use cases, ChatGPT’s free public launch mainstreaming language AI is a watershed moment with impact dependent on governance keeping pace.

High Stakes Applications
Its flexibility enables far-reaching applications with promise but also risks spanning art, media, finance, law and even medical advice.

Modernizing Guardrails Through Shared Innovation
Optimizing generative AI for social benefit compels updated institutions, incentives and tools promoting responsibility.

Algorithmic Safety Boards
These emerging bodies convene independent experts probing for societal externalities in generative models like recommenders and conversational bots to catch blindspots.

Incentives for Self-Regulation
Policy frameworks make access to valuable resources like funding, data or markets contingent on demonstratable self-assessments around model integrity.

Investing in Collective Stewardship
Philanthropic capital could seed civil oversight mechanisms like participatory algorithm audits and monitoring infrastructure tracking generative AI impacts with consistent benchmarks.

Our Future in Code and Community
Designing humanity's trajectory requires writing guardrails and norms as much as model architectures.
