First, [companies] could voluntarily invite rigorous, independent auditing of their safety and security practices. [...] If an AI slowdown is needed, auditing would also reassure each company that their competitors are playing by the rules. [...] Third, they could invest in the technologies we need to make AI guardrails global. [...] In order for the US to be highly confident that China couldn’t violate an AI agreement, and vice versa, we’ll need sophisticated verification technologies like those developed during the cold war for nuclear arms control. [...] AI companies could accelerate the development of this critical type of technology today through funding and participation in pilot projects, but to my knowledge, they haven’t yet done so.
