AI Futures Project researcher writing on AI takeoff modeling and Plan A capability trajectories.
Unlike all other actors we model, the consortium is not racing to build better AIs as fast as they possibly can. The specific strategies are discussed in more detail in the Capabilities Scaling Strategy supplement, but at a high level, the strategy is to scale smoothly to Top-Expert-Dominating AI (TED-AI), then pause to do alignment research before eventually handing over control to AIs.

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