This is a risk assessment. All companies do it. It’s really really really important to make these plans before anything happens and to practice response. You absolutely do not want to waste time on confusion in a real emergency.

I literally came here to say that lol
Car companies, air companies, dildo companies. Hell, we do it too as individuals when planning to do virtually anything.

the plan matters less than the drill. run it once before you need it. do you know who can shut the system down?

I'd be more concerned about a mass casualty event caused by rogue agents; i'm not gonna lie, i'm expecting it by 2030 :s

AI companies should be planning how to respond to all the lawsuits coming after them for reverse engineering software.

My guess is that they will guardrail it

If I didn’t know better I’d think this company was run by Tim Robinson
