A group of former OpenAI and Google DeepMind employees have published an open letter advocating for AI companies to allow employees to raise concerns about AI risks without facing retaliation. The letter emphasizes the potential risks of AI, such as exacerbating inequalities and loss of control over autonomous systems. The signatories call for greater transparency and obligations for AI companies to share information with governments and civil society. The letter outlines four key principles for AI companies to commit to, including not enforcing agreements that prohibit criticism and supporting a culture of open criticism. The call for a "right to warn" comes after concerns were raised about OpenAI's restrictive non-disclosure agreements for departing employees. The letter has garnered support from prominent AI experts, highlighting the need for transparency, oversight, and protection for employees who speak out about potential AI risks.
