"Hardwired Pause" should likely be your favorite (pause) plan.

I'm part of a team of 26 researchers that recently released a 212-page paper proposing a new plan for pausing AI, the "hardwired pause." [1] The paper is called " The Feasibility of a Hardwired Pause of Frontier AI Training ." Our analysis suggests that, under this hardwired pause plan, we could probably pause for at least a decade if we start stopping within the next year, and this could likely be extended indefinitely. I expect this to be possible without trusting China or tanking the economy. Note: I am speaking for myself and not the other 25 authors. The working group is led by Will Fithian and Wesley Holliday, and the work continues. I currently think: The best plan is to pause/ stop AI , i.e. have an immediate , indefinite, international moratorium on frontier AI development. And importantly, this is technically easier than more nuanced international regulation . A hardwired pause is probably the best plan out there for how to do this (except maybe it doesn't go far enough). This paper is likely the most in-depth analysis of pause feasibility in existence. Discussion and disagreement on any of these is very welcome! What's a hardwired pause? A hardwired pause basically means
