The Advocacy Gap in International AI Verification
According to the excerpt, a LessWrong post by clickyquack argues that few people realise how feasible verification mechanisms for an international AI agreement are, and that spreading this awareness would make proposals to pace frontier AI development more politically workable.
Why it matters
The same thing, for different readers.
For lawmakers
A LessWrong author argues that lawmakers weighing an international AI pacing agreement need clearer evidence that compliance with it could be verified.
The question it raises
The post treats the objection that rivals would covertly defect as a question of verification technology rather than of trust.
