Conjecture
AI safety plans form a ladder set by political will; plan each rung to survive a fall to the one below.
The claim
AI safety plans form a ladder set by political will, from an international pause down to a race with no lead, and work at each rung should be planned to survive a fall to the rung below. The alignment roadmap supplement has even a successful pause start out planning as the lower plans do, in case coordination breaks down.
Evidence 2 passages
groundsAI 2040: Plan A, supplement: Alignment Roadmap, AI Futures Project
In Plan A, we’ll initially plan similarly to Plan B/C (in order to hedge against the international coordination breaking down), and then once the regime is stable, shifting resources to moonshots, updating to potentially huge amounts of resources.
groundsAI 2040: Plan A, supplement: Alignment Roadmap, AI Futures Project
In Plan B, the plan is very similar to Plan C, except you have somewhat more time/effort and can spend slightly more resources on more ambitious/higher assurance proposals.
