China and Russia even if they sign this, and not continue past a GPT-4 ("Level") will mean they will catch up to where the west is now. Also these AI's will be trained on their respective countries internets. Which will mean they will have their countries bias, just like the ones we will be training in the west.

China's AI's will never no Tiananmen Square happened, Surveillance State is ok and Taiwan is a part of China, among other things. We can only guess at what the AI's in Russia will think of the people in Ukraine, etc...

Yes the West's AI's will also have these bias issues we are seeing now. The ones these guys are telling us to watch out for.

However the answer is not to stop research but to get these things in the open as soon as possible. The sooner these are beta tested by real people the better chance we will have in controlling them. Also the sooner we can test the less connected these things will be to our world.

We currently have the lead in this research and can shape these things before China or Russia can, because you know they will not. Not that I'm more confident the West will do it right, but I do know more people will have a chance to say there is something wrong and how these thing should be connected to our world.
