MAGAin artificial intelligence systems translates to "Anti Deep State"
But despite these worries, Anthropic has taken fewer formal steps than OpenAI to date to establish corporate governance measures specifically meant to mitigate safety concerns. While at OpenAI, Dario Amodei was the main author of the company’s charter, and in particular championed a passage known as the “merge and assist” clause. It reads as follows:
We are concerned about late-stage AGI development becoming a competitive race without time for adequate safety precautions. Therefore, if a value-aligned, safety-conscious project comes close to building AGI before we do, we commit to stop competing with and start assisting this project.
That is, OpenAI would not race with, say, DeepMind or Anthropic if human-level AI seemed near. It would join their effort to ensure that a harmful arms race does not ensue.
