The "Plan A" narrative, authored by AI-2040, proposes a global treaty to significantly slow AI progress, aiming for a near-total pause in cognitive ability increases around 2035. This pause is intended to allow safety research sufficient time to develop robust alignment techniques, with the ultimate goal of handing control to AIs aligned with human interests by 2040. The plan includes assumptions about reliable lie detection for both humans and AIs, and forecasts a multipolar AI landscape with diverse alignment targets, though the author expresses some reservations about the plan's specifics and the likelihood of such agreements being universally adopted and enforced.
