Miles Brundage writes in The Guardian, agreeing with employees calling for government intervention on AI pacing. He outlines four ways companies can proactively prepare for potential regulatory slowdowns before mandates arrive:
- Pilot Audits: Companies can initiate audit processes now.
- Cross-Industry Governance: Establish or join bodies to share safety lessons.
- Verification Tech: Invest in technologies to verify compliance with agreements (e.g., with China).
- Push for Legislation: Advocate for laws that create key regulatory institutions.
Brundage emphasizes that while competitive dynamics are tough, companies have significant agency they aren't fully using to improve safety.
