My approach is generally to identify relevant bodies of law that will affect the relationships between AI developers and other relevant entities/​actors, like:
other AI developers
governments
AI itself
Consumers
Much of this is governed by well-developed areas of law, but in very unusual (hypothetical) cases. At OpenAI I look for edge cases in these areas. Specifically I collaborate with technical experts who are working on the cutting edge of AI R&D to identify these issues more clearly. OpenAI empowers me and the Policy team so that we can guide the org to proactively address these issues.
