by Mustafa Suleyman

Technical safety: Concrete technical measures to alleviate possible harms and maintain control. 2. Audits: A means of ensuring the transparency and accountability of technology. 3. Choke points: Levers to slow development and buy time for regulators and defensive technologies. 4. Makers: Ensuring responsible developers build appropriate controls into technology from the start. 5. Businesses: Aligning the incentives of the organizations behind technology with its containment. 6. Government: Supporting governments, allowing them to build technology, regulate technology, and implement mitigation measures. 7. Alliances: Creating a system of international cooperation to harmonize laws and programs. 8. Culture: A culture of sharing learning and failures to quickly disseminate means of addressing them. 9. Movements: All of this needs public input at every level, including to put pressure on each component and make it accountable. Step 10 is about coherence, ensuring that each element works in harmony with the others, that containment is a virtuous circle of mutually reinforcing measures and not a gap-filled cacophony of competing programs.
