Senior AI developers and safety researchers are concerned that AI capabilities may soon outpace our ability to control them, potentially necessitating a slowdown in development. This concern is amplified by recent events, including a researcher's resignation from Anthropic with a warning about self-improving AI and calls from industry leaders for 'pacing the frontier.' However, a global AI safety pact faces significant geopolitical hurdles, particularly between the United States and China, due to a lack of mutual trust. Instead of negotiating broad speed limits, the focus should be on agreeing on early warning indicators for dangerous capabilities and establishing mechanisms to pause development before critical thresholds are reached.
