Notes on “We’re in Triage Mode for AI Safety” by Miles Brundage alignmentforum.org

The author summarizes Miles Brundage’s argument that rapid AI progress leaves policymakers in “triage mode”: they may mitigate many risks but fail to prevent serious harms, such as AI-enabled attacks and authoritarianism. The notes also present counterarguments from researchers including Dwarkesh Patel, Toby Ord and Richard Ngo, who question short timelines or warn that urgency can lead to poor choices.
