Sabina Nong
Sabina Nong is the [[FutureOfLifeInstitute|Future of Life Institute]] representative interviewed in AI firms are going back on their safety promises. In the Marketplace Tech episode, she explains the institute’s [[AILabSafetyReportCards|AI lab safety report card]] and argues that major labs’ safety scores have slipped as commercial pressure pushes them toward more powerful systems.
Nong’s central claim is that frontier AI companies should not convert earlier safety promises into competitor-contingent language. She argues that unilateral pause pledges, credible control strategies for Recursive Self-Improvement, and broader public definition of AI safety are needed before companies treat superintelligence as a necessary or legitimate target.
