Berkeley-led working group: a hardwired decade-long pause of frontier AI is feasible
DavidSKrueger · x · 2026-11-09
David Krueger shares "The Feasibility of a Hardwired Pause of Frontier AI Training," a report by a working group spanning UC Berkeley, Stanford, Princeton and Oxford — organized by William Fithian and Wesley Holliday, with Barry Eichengreen, Rose Gottemoeller and others. Core claim: via hardware-level enforcement mechanisms, the international community could pause frontier AI training for at least a decade without trusting China or tanking the economy, arguing verifiable compute-supply-chain controls and international coordination are workable — the most systematic feasibility study of an AI pause to date.
