Conversations with researchers at large U.S. technology companies have suggested that their companies’ decisions to develop or release new breakthrough models, or to invest more heavily in their safety, are heavily influenced by concerns over public sentiment. This extends particularly to anticipated government or regulatory
responses to model releases that could have a long-term impact on their existing revenue streams. It has been suggested that this incentive directly shapes the public research output of their organization and that of other similar firms, particularly as regards safety. Concerns have been expressed that internal legal teams within these organizations are preventing researchers from referencing catastrophic risks associated with advanced AI development in their research papers and broader public communications.
