AI 2040 proposes 'Total Research Transparency' for AGI safety

The AI 2040 project has proposed a "Total Research Transparency" plan to ensure the safe development of AGI, particularly in the context of a trustless agreement between the US and China. This plan advocates for making nearly all algorithmic secrets, experiments, and training runs immediately visible to the public, while preventing model weights and sensitive data from leaving datacenters. The primary motivations for this approach are to improve governmental and corporate decision-making during critical AGI development phases and to mitigate the risk of power abuse by entities involved in AI research. AI

IMPACT This proposal could shape future AGI development by prioritizing public visibility and trustless verification mechanisms.
