Researchers Sayash Kapoor, Rishi Bommasani, and Arvind Narayanan launched STABL (Societal Transformation and AI Bottlenecks Lab), a nonprofit aiming at the "missing quadrant" of AI responses: taking both AI's transformative potential and downstream societal bottlenecks seriously. Its four pillars are recursive self-improvement, risks and resilience, steering AI's economic impacts, and sectoral/professional adaptation. Their launch essay argues society's response to advanced AI has become unproductively polarized.
