Executive summary: The post responds to a paper on coordinated pausing for AI labs, arguing it has limitations around feasibility of a single auditor, legal risks of pausing, and issues with voluntary and contractual approaches. It suggests key research areas like evaluations, similarity measures, legal issues, reporting schemes, registers, and governance.
Key points:
A single mutual auditor for all AI labs is unlikely; competition means multiple auditors, undermining coordination.
Auditors face legal risks trying to enforce pauses, disincentivizing this.
Voluntary and contractual pausing have loopholes around private deployments and weak incentives.
Key research areas include evaluations, model similarity measures, legal issues, incident reporting, model registers and disclosure, preventing open sourcing, and corporate governance.
The paper has good intentions but organizational incentives often override individual intentions.
Intermediate voluntary and contractual approaches are positive steps but have limitations.
Strong industry governance is needed for policies like pausing to work.
