AI2040 debate: full research transparency vs tiered disclosure and top-level coordination
anpaure · x · 2026-09-13
In the AI2040 debate thread, @ueaj argued research transparency can't stop more efficient architectures—it would just proliferate them instantly to everyone. @anpaure replied that this is a major point in AI2040 and endorsed the logic.
An alternative was proposed: instead of blanket transparency, negotiators or a strict hierarchy within each country's research program—all information about large model training flows to the top, with total transparency between top-level actors to coordinate.
A concrete exchange on AI governance mechanism design.
