New blog: the ozone crisis offers a striking blueprint for AI risk coordination
nabla_theta · x · 2026-09-17
A new blog post argues that making AI go well will require international coordination, and that humanity's response to the ozone crisis bears a striking resemblance to AI risk.
The piece draws lessons from how scientific evidence, industry shifts, and rapid multilateral treaty-making (Montreal Protocol) solved a global technological risk, suggesting this history can help navigate future AI governance. A viewpoint-level long-form argument on AI coordination rather than a concrete policy proposal.
