Global campaign to pause frontier AI
Inspired by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), this agency will be responsible for: 1. Granting approval for major deployments and training runs of AIs that are judged not to pose a threat to humanity. This will include red-teaming and model evaluations. 2. Granting approval for the creation of more powerful AI once sufficient progress has been made on the technical problems of AI safety and control. 3. Specifying requirements for the oversight of AI training runs. 4. Verifying that the decisions of the agency are being honored. This can be done in numerous ways: tracking GPUs, incentivizing whistleblowers, energy monitoring, data center inspections, financial intelligence, semiconductor manufacturing facility inspections, AI developer inspections, chip location tracking and chip-based reporting.

Policy proposals and claims
Governments and labs should build the capability for a global slowdown of frontier AI development in case it's needed

Verification History

AI Verified Verified. The source_url (pauseai.info/proposal) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim from PauseAI's official proposal page. The passage describing an IAEA-inspired agency and its responsibilities (granting approval for major deployments and training runs, red-teaming and model evaluations, approving more powerful AI once safety progress is made, specifying oversight requirements, and verifying compliance via "tracking GPUs, incentivizing whistleblowers, energy monitoring, data center inspections, financial intelligence, semiconductor manufacturing facility inspections, AI developer inspections, chip location tracking and chip-based reporting") matches the stored quote. Author attribution correct: this is PauseAI's own proposal on its own site. Year 2026 is appropriate (the proposal is a current/living document). The vote "for" aligns precisely with statement 451 ("Governments and labs should build the capability for a global slowdown of frontier AI development in case it's needed"): PauseAI's entire proposal is built around creating the institutional and verification capability to pause/slow frontier AI development, an unambiguously supportive (for) stance. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 2h ago
