A good pause strategy would involve both sides being able to monitor the other's data centers to prevent illegal training, then limiting training to some slow mutually-agreeable rate that lets alignment researchers thoroughly test each generation of AIs pre-release, monitor them post-release, and develop techniques to respond to any problems detected on deep levels that they expect to survive distribution shifts.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote supports a coordinated AI 'pause strategy' by proposing monitoring of data centers and limiting training to a slow agreed rate. That clearly implies support for building the capability to enforce a broad slowdown of frontier AI if needed, even if 'governments and labs' is not named explicitly.

The quote endorses a coordinated slowdown mechanism by saying 'a good pause strategy would involve' monitoring data centers and 'limiting training to some slow mutually-agreeable rate.'
