A bipartisan proposal would require powerful AI systems to have emergency controls. The challenge is making those controls effective, safe and enforceable—not just available on paper.
-
Competition between the US and China makes AI cooperation difficult—but more necessary. The challenge is to protect useful innovation while setting enforceable limits on dangerous capabilities.
-
An AI chatbot is not a legal person, but its developers and operators can face scrutiny when conversations precede real-world harm. The central questions are about duty, design, knowledge and causation.
-
A former Google whistleblower argues that AI safety should rest on verifiable rules, not corporate promises. Tracking the computing power behind advanced models could help—but it is no simple fix.
-
The AI policy debate is not just about partisan gridlock. Disputes over competitiveness, overlapping committee responsibilities and the role of states make a federal agreement harder to reach.
-
Coordinated AI agents could turn a small security failure into a much larger problem. Understanding the risk starts with separating reported test behavior from worst-case predictions.
-
David Sacks argues that OpenAI and Anthropic can prioritize safety without waiting for government action. The harder question is whether voluntary restraint and existing laws are enough.
-
Slowing the most advanced AI systems does not necessarily mean cutting infrastructure spending or stopping useful applications. The real questions are what gets paused, who evaluates the risks and who writes the rules.
-
Promises to “pace” advanced AI mean little without clear limits. The real test is whether safety oversight can stop a dangerous project—not simply monitor it.

Outside evaluators can help close the gap between AI capabilities and our understanding of them. But access, independence and meaningful consequences matter more than a benchmark score.
