Researcher Calls on AI Labs to Establish Verifiable 'Pause Frameworks'

AI safety researcher Stephen Casper argues that if AI companies are genuinely serious about pausing development for safety, they should release a verifiable 'pause framework.'
He suggests this framework could include commitments like ceasing training runs over 10^25 FLOPs, adopting internal whistleblowing policies for violations, and making these actions verifiable by third parties, conditional on competitors adopting the same rules.
