[linkpost] Sharing powerful AI models: the emerging paradigm of structured access

I have written a new GovAI blog post—link here.

How should labs should share large AI models? I argue for a “structured access” approach, where outsiders interact with the model at arm’s length. The aim is to both (a) prevent misuse, and (b) enable safety-relevant research on the model. The GPT-3 API is a good early example, but I think we can go even further. This could be a promising direction for AI governance.

I would be interested to hear people’s thoughts :)
