If 'pacing' becomes necessary, we think it should consist of two parts: first, specifying thresholds for when automated AI R&D is likely to pose severe risks; and second, if a threshold is exceeded, incentivizing AI companies to reallocate resources away from the most risky research, and towards activities that make further automation safer, or diffuse the benefits of existing AI faster. Without preparation now, however, our preferred pacing strategy will be impossible to implement.
