"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 Fithi

We urgently need to practice before we can pause
I've noticed two clusters of thought in how people expect a global AI pause to be shaped: Single-shot global pause : the global AI pause will be implemented suddenly, with little pacing precedent before it, and we will need to do a lot of research before it's implemented so that we can get it right the first time around. Incrementally-shaped global pause : the global AI pause will be implemented incrementally, with lots of pacing precedent before it, and we will improve the pause setup and get more parties to join in as we go. An incrementally-shaped global pause is both more likely and more t

Why would an AI pause (significantly) hurt the economy?
I've seen a bunch of people claiming "well, we need to make sure whatever our AI policy is doesn't hurt the economy because people will feel that in their wallets and hate it (and hurting the economy is bad." This might hypothetically be true, but I've never seen anyone argue for it in any detail. Meanwhile, I'd naively expect if shut down AI anytime soon, it wouldn't be that big a deal? (It makes sense that it'd become a bigger deal as AI takes over more of the economy. But it feels like the people saying "it'd hurt the economy" are often the people implying that means we should do less of a
