Pacing Research’s questions about slowing AI
A research agenda examines when slowing AI development might help, what it costs, how coordination could work, and when development should resume.
- For
- AI governance and coordination researchers
- Worth noticing
- Its agenda distinguishes time gained by slowing work from progress merely displaced elsewhere.
Field notes
The page organizes its agenda around three labeled areas: pacing dynamics, institutions, and evaluation. One question separates time gained through delay from progress displaced elsewhere; another asks who participates in restraint, who bears its costs, and who can verify it. The site describes evaluation as an initial focus for setting rules about when to resume, but the supplied homepage extract does not show results or a research method.
