Comment by Felix Choussat

Human avatar
AI governance researcher and former Pivotal Research AI Safety Fellow, studying AI capability proliferation and great-power competition.
Proposals for Mutually Assured AI Malfunction assume that the threat of sabotage can hold rivals at a stalemate over frontier AI development. [...] Destroying compute alone is not enough to force a stalemate. [...] The paper argues against relying on kinetic sabotage for indefinite deterrence and for lower-escalation mechanisms that leave room to negotiate.
