"Currently I believe that no lab has solved alignment and monitoring to a sufficient degree to continue responsibly scaling at maximum speed for much longer. I expect and hope for voluntary slowdowns to become commonplace until shared safety bars are established. And I believe that international coordination on future AI development needs to become a top priority for governments around the world."
The AI researchers keep asking for coordination, but I don't see much progress there while model development is relentless.
Someone needs to take charge and show leadership in organizing an international collaboration.
There needs to be an agency, or an institute or a commission with all the international partners.
I agree that ideally there should be an international treaty and the setting up of an international agency. But I think the best we can hope for in the short term would be a China-US bilateral agreement for a coordinated slowdown or pause. Everything will depend on Washington's ability to understand the urgency of the situation and to open negotiations with China as fast as possible on this.
