CSET’s Lauren A. Kahn and CFR’s Michael C. Horowitz shared their expert analysis in an op-ed published by AI Frontiers. In their piece, they examine the growing calls to regulate artificial intelligence in ways similar to nuclear technology. They highlight recent comments by Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, who suggested creating an international AI oversight body modeled after the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The authors emphasized the limits of the nuclear comparison, noting, “No analogy is perfect, but especially as a general-purpose technology, AI differs so fundamentally from nuclear technology that basing AI policy around the nuclear analogy is conceptually flawed and risks inflating expectations about the international community’s ability to control model proliferation.”
