Import AI 389: Minecraft vibe checks; Cohere's multilingual models; and Huawei's computer-using agentsWill AI ever seek to synthesize biological life?Welcome to Import AI, a newsletter about AI research. Import AI runs on lattes, ramen, and feedback from readers. If you’d like to support this, please subscribe. Cohere releases two powerful multilingual models:
Why this matters - the future of the species is now a vibe check: Is any of the above what you'd traditionally think of as a well reasoned scientific eval? No! Not in the slightest! "Just put the animal in the environment and see what it does" is the definition of a qualitative study and by nature something where it's hard to ablate and control things to do truly fair comparisons.
Why this matters - most questions in AI governance rests on what, if anything, companies should do pre-deployment: The report helps us think through one of the central questions in AI governance - what role, if any, should the government have in deciding what AI products do and don't come to market? Any kind of "FDA for AI" would increase the government's role in figuring out a framework for deciding what products come to market and what don't, along with gates needed to be passed to get to broad-scale distribution. This would represent a change from the status quo where companies make all the decisions about what products to bring to market. Do we actually want other participants to have a role here and, if so, what should that precise role be? You’re currently a free subscriber to Import AI.
