I disagree. A slowdown would politicize AI development... and could induce a talent drain. [...] The risk is that the delay could be extended indefinitely. AI Verified source (2023)

Verification History

AI Verified Source URL (news.bloomberglaw.com syndication of Tyler Cowen Bloomberg Opinion column 'Should We Pause AI? We'd Only Be Hurting Ourselves', April 3, 2023) returns 403 to WebFetch but Google search returns verbatim phrases from the column: 'a slowdown would politicize AI development', 'could induce a talent drain', and 'the risk is that the delay could be extended indefinitely, especially once politicians jump in and polarize the issue.' Author attribution to Tyler Cowen (George Mason economist, Bloomberg Opinion columnist) is correct. Year 2023 matches the column's publication. Vote 'against' on statement #379 ('Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached') correctly aligns with Cowen's clear opposition to an AI pause.
