Sarah Myers West emphasized the urgent need for cautious development in AI, stating, "I'm really worried that right now there's just such a rush to sort of push product out onto the world, without thinking about that legacy question of what is the world that we really want to live in, and in what ways is the technology that's being produced acting in service of that world or actively harming it."
Myers West pointed out the consequences of rapid AI deployment, highlighting a recent lawsuit, "This story really demonstrates the profound stakes of the very rapid rollout that we've seen of AI-based technologies, some of these are longstanding, almost intractable problems of content moderation of online abuse."
Jingna Zhang addressed the impact of AI technologies on individual lives, saying, "We are building something that has a lot of power and the ability to really, really impact people's lives, When you talk about something like Character.AI, that emotionally really engages with somebody, it makes sense that I think there should be guardrails around how the product is built."
