How would you verify a US-China AI deal? Podcast digs into inference verification tech
HaydnBelfield · x · 2026-10-24
An interview with Tom Milton (Amodo) on the technology needed to verify a potential US-China AI deal:
- Amodo's prototype for inference verification
- Using power monitoring, zero-knowledge proofs and/or unilateral surveillance to understand how an adversary uses compute
- How compute verification could serve an AI slowdown
The host notes that while verification is central to many people's theories of victory, precious few people are actually working on it — Tom is one of them. Available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
