- A short statement signed by more than a thousand employees of frontier AI companies warns that AI development could speed past human understanding or control.
- Signatories include four Anthropic co-founders, OpenAI's chief scientist and chief research officer, Meta's chief scientist, and Google's VP of AI Safety and Alignment.
- The request is that the U.S. government support an international effort to build technical and governance tools for deliberately pacing automated AI development.
- Possible tools range from tamper-resistant chips that leave traces of unauthorized use to closer monitoring of the AI chip supply chain, with a mix likely needed.
- The author sees the statement as addressing the race dynamics directly, and notes that MIRI's Technical Governance Team has already been cataloguing such tools.
