Engineers build AI verification tools to enable global slowdown
A small team at Amodo Design is developing monitoring technology that could verify compliance with an AI slowdown treaty—if one ever gets negotiated.
What to know
- Over 1,300 AI researchers publicly warned their systems are becoming uncontrollable and called for an international slowdown—but say competition makes voluntary braking impossible.
- Fewer than 50 engineers worldwide are building AI verification technology that could enable treaty compliance, funded mostly by philanthropy rather than industry or government.
- Any slowdown treaty requires U.S.-China agreement and verification tools that don't yet exist; Amodo is betting that when political will emerges, the technology will be ready.
“As the race to build ever more powerful AI accelerates, a small group of engineers is working on the technology that could make slowing down possible.”
