The AI Futures Project, led by former OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo, proposes a temporary global pause on frontier AI research in 'AI 2040: Plan A' to prioritize safety and cooperation between the US and China. The plan faces criticism from AI accelerationists but emphasizes that current AI capabilities can still drive economic growth. The article notes China's push for a global AI cooperation organization and OpenAI's disagreements with the White House over AI safety rules.
