AI Oversight Challenges, Protein Folding Scaling Laws, and Extinction Risk Pricing
A new Import AI issue highlights difficulties in AI oversight, including the challenge of evaluating superhuman models. Researchers propose scaling laws for protein folding models, suggesting performance improves predictably with compute. The newsletter also discusses attempts to price the extinction risk from advanced AI, a controversial but growing field.
