The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: OpenAI's Newest Board Member, Zico Colter on The Biggest Bottlenecks to the Performance of Foundation Models | The Biggest Questions and Concerns in AI Safety | How to Regulate an AI-Centric World

But basically I, I, I started having some conversations with him and the rest of the board. I got very excited about the potential sort of provide my perspectives on AI and AI safety to the board and things went from there.

There are four board meetings a year, yes. But I think I'm being brought on the board as an expert in AI and AI safety. I am excited to provide my perspective and expertise specifically on AI to the rest of the board.

There is absolutely some element here of kind of a race between different countries for AI dominance. I actually will take a different stance on this and say that I think there are certain things like, for example, AI safety, where we very much need to work as a world to help set standards and help better the future of everyone here.

Because yes, certain things can be done by countries, capabilities can maybe advance more by countries. Safety is something that's inherently global. systems.

The most common one has to do, I would say, with questions that put an overemphasis on the architectures involved in AI systems. So, you know, this notion that somehow the transformer was the thing that made all AI possible. I'm often asked questions like, you know, what comes after the transformer and things like that.

And the reality is, as I said before, and which probably I know makes for a good soundbite architect, we are arguably in a post architecture phase, they don't they don't really matter, we could do what we're currently doing with a whole lot of architectures right now.

And I hope that I can steer the conversation to more of one where we consider these models not in terms of their particular structure, because it's somewhat irrelevant when it comes to capabilities. And we think about these models more in terms of the data that goes into them, and the capabilities they produce downstream.
