"Conflicts of interest aren’t only about money," says Brian Patrick Green, Ethics Center's director of technology ethics.
"In a world where starting your own business at home is more regulated than AI, some oversight is better than none," Green said, and suggested companies may need an oversight board made up of several independently funded organizations, with limits on how people move between the labs and the evaluators.
“Maybe you even need to have not just third-party evaluators,” Green said, “but somebody who’s also going to be watching the watchers.”
