AI Futures Project researcher writing on AI capability scaling, controlled takeoff, and comparative AI governance plans.
In 2035, we pause at top-human-expert level AI in order to maintain human control. [...] In 2040, we unpause and scale to superintelligence. [...] If this race continues, we do not expect humans to maintain effective control as their AIs become superintelligent.

Romeo Dean et al., “AI 2040: Plan A,” AI Futures Project, July 9, 2026. The jointly authored plan recommends a temporary pause at the top-human-expert level to maintain control, rather than racing unchecked or halting permanently.

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