- The full "AI 2040: Plan A" report by Thomas Larsen, Romeo Dean, Brendan Halstead, Eli Lifland, Ryan Greenblatt and Daniel Kokotajlo proposes delaying superintelligence to 2040, making all AI research public, letting dozens of companies globally reach the frontier, and entering a regime of mutually assured compute destruction.
- The authors frame Plan A as a recommendation for avoiding existential catastrophe, informed by frontier-company experts and policymakers, contrasted with four alternative plans (B, C, D, S).
