I'm obsessed with this topic :) Here is another attempt, this time with the brilliant @audreyt, to flesh out a concrete and actionable plan to pace AI while giving voice to the people most affected by it. We use a game-theoretic framework hard-nosed realists who don't trust the democracy argument can relate to. Let's make it happen before it's too late. Thank you @NoemaMag for supporting these ideas and for the fast turnaround. noemamag.com/let-the-people-…
