Comment by Clare Birch

Whether or not automated AI research accelerates as sharply as some expect, the option requested here is valuable. How fast and how widely capability spreads should be a deliberate choice, made on evidence, rather than a side effect of competitive pressure. Regulators and R&D orgs should build the tools to make that choice at the frontier-wide level before we need them.
