Geoffrey Irving argues that AI coordination matters as much as capability progress: he is worried both about extreme downside risks, including human extinction, and about bad actors getting a decisive advantage if strong countermeasures are not ready.
His core point is that it may be as dangerous to accelerate AI without coordination as it is to let adversaries misuse AI while defenses remain weak.
