I sometimes do work for AIFP, but I wasn’t involved in this particular effort. Still, I agree with everything they say - except point 7, “AIs must not make important decisions or control critical systems”. Every time you take a Waymo, you’re letting an AI control a critical system; every time it chooses to stop at a red light but not a green one, it’s making an “important decision” (if you don’t think this decision is important, consider the consequences of failure). This isn’t a gotcha: it’s fine for near-term AI systems to make important decisions in cases where they’ve been well-tested and there’s good reason to think that they outperform humans on net. Getting rid of the last 0.001% of hallucinations and inexplicable behavior would be nice, but shouldn’t delay rollout if there are compensatory advantages. [EDIT: See author response, they don’t disagree]

I don’t think this is quite right - I think they’re actually following their math and so when they redid the math and got different results they said so - but I agree it’s ironic that when everyone else had long timelines, AIFP went short, and now that everyone else is starting to come around, AIFP’s going longer again. AIFP has also responded to titotal’s critique of their timeline model here.
