We don't allow pharmaceutical companies to sell untested drugs. We don't let airlines fly untested planes. Yet we release increasingly powerful AI systems with no safety testing framework, no regulatory approval, and no mechanism to recall them if they cause harm.
The race between AI labs to build the most powerful model incentivizes cutting corners on safety. A coordinated pause would break this destructive dynamic and give researchers time to develop alignment techniques before systems become too powerful to control.
