Comment by Working Group on AI Pause Feasibility

Interdisciplinary academic working group organized by UC Berkeley scholars William Fithian and Wesley H. Holliday that studies the feasibility of mutually verifiable pauses of frontier AI training.
Licensed hardware systems would come equipped with (or, in the case of pre-pause hardware, be retrofitted for) on-chip location attestation (e.g., latency-based location) to ensure that they remained at their registered location and visible to treaty authorities. Transfer of ownership, location, or jurisdiction would require re-registration.
