Daniel Kokotajlo, author of "AI 2027," has proposed "AI 2040: Plan A," a strategy to mitigate the risks of superintelligent AI. This plan involves the US and China agreeing to a verified slowdown in AI development, aiming for superintelligence to arrive around 2040 rather than in the immediate future. Such a slowdown would still lead to rapid economic growth and significant societal changes, but would provide a crucial decade to solve alignment problems, distribute AI's benefits, and ensure reversibility.
