AI Futures Project researcher writing on AI capability scaling, controlled takeoff, and comparative AI governance plans.
In the Plan A scenario, why does the Consortium choose to steadily increase capabilities until reaching top-expert-dominating AI (TED-AI) in 2035, then slow down nearly to a pause until handing off to these AIs in 2040? [...] Scale until you’re close to max-controllable-AI, i.e. the maximally capable AI that we are confident we can prevent from causing a catastrophe even if they were misaligned. [...] Slow down nearly to a halt, then eventually hand off to AIs.

Pausing AI at human-genius level to solve alignment is safer than either racing to superintelligence or halting entirely
