Personally, I think AI is interesting. But I recognize it might be dangerous, especially given the pace of development.
Here's my suggestion on how AI development could be paused through an international treaty:
\-Transfer ownership of the chip manufacturing supply chain to the UN. This would include companies such as ASML, Nvidia, Intel, AMD, TSMC, etc.
\-Transfer ownership of the biggest AI companies to the UN (OpenAI, Anthropic, Qwen, etc.)
\-Current stock holders would be given cash or special drawing rights in exchange for their positions.
\-The UN would use it's monopoly to limit GPU manufacturing to roughly 1 GPU per person every 5 years.
\-Pause the development of higher resolution/precision photolithography machines at ASML.
\-Limit the concentration of GPUs in data centers to a certain number of Pflop/s.
\-Un-pausing development would require in depth years long studies of the social and economic effects of current AI systems.
\-Any future major AI development would be done under the umbrella of UN oversight, and would be studied and run in a high security sandbox for a long time before being released to the public.
