#226 – Holden Karnofsky on Unexploited Opportunities to Make AI Safer — and All His AGI Takes
In this episode, Holden Karnofsky explains how AI safety has shifted from abstract theorizing to a surge of concrete, shovel‑ready projects, highlighting 39 specific initiatives ranging from deceptive‑AI detection to AI‑human relationship policies. He argues that working inside frontier AI firms like Anthropic offers unique leverage to reduce risk, while also acknowledging the complementary role of external groups. Karnofsky critiques common misconceptions about AI race dynamics, emphasizes the importance of technical and non‑technical safety work, and discusses broader strategic considerations such as regulation, AI welfare, and the limits of governance structures.
