The article explores several "Plan A" scenarios for governing transformative AI, moving beyond a single proposal. One idea involves controlling AI development at the chip level, with integrated monitoring and remote killswitches, though this faces challenges with existing chip stocks and physical tampering. Another concept is a joint international project, akin to CERN, where multiple nations collaborate on AI training to simplify monitoring and increase legitimacy, but this introduces governance complexities and potential disputes. A third approach, inspired by Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD), suggests a deterrence strategy where nations agree to take strong action against perceived superintelligence development, leveraging the stability of MAD to buy time for safety research.
