In a Q&A with Carnegie Endowment, Scott Singer argues that frontier AI CEOs calling to "pace the frontier" is sensible — buying time to prepare for risks from extraordinary capabilities. But he stresses the parallel priority: building robust federal incident-reporting infrastructure so governments genuinely understand emerging risks. Citing recent incidents involving OpenAI and Hugging Face, he says well-designed systems would let governments disseminate key lessons across industry, reducing collective risk.
