New report 'Pacing the Frontier' urges research into how to enforce an AI slowdown
A new report coauthored by Raymond Douglas (University of Toronto), titled Pacing the Frontier: A Research Agenda, argues that enforcing a slowdown in AI development is an unresolved research problem and surveys possible approaches including independent inspections, third‑party evaluations, compute tracking, and new model-evaluation methods. The article also notes industry moves—such as Anthropic’s internal tracking of Claude’s contributions—and differing views on whether government or outside expertise should lead enforcement.
