Yes. To reduce that risk we could aim for an international agreement on banning high-risk AI capability research but might not be satisfying. I have the impression that very few people (if any) are working on that flavor of regulations and could be useful to explore it more. Ideally, if we could simply coordinate to not produce direct work on producing generally capable AI until we figure out safety it could be an important win.
One worry is that redtape increases the chance that someone who doesn’t care about regulation can frontrun the first team to AGI.
