AI Safety Research Needs More Compute

At the RAISE Summit, Fractile argued that AI safety research requires more compute, not less. They believe faster chips and greater computing power can help researchers discover dangerous model capabilities before bad actors do.
The core idea is that safety research isn't achieved by "using less compute"; instead, it may require robust compute for more thorough probing, evaluation, and validation.
