Two UC Berkeley professors, Will Fithian (statistics) and Wes Holliday (philosophy and social choice theory), discuss whether frontier AI training can be paused internationally. They cover what a pause would mean, how it could be verified and enforced, what might motivate countries and companies to take part, and whether coordination is realistic; the two co-organize an academic working group on the question. The hosting Meetup group meets at Curry Hyuga at 4:30 for dinner before the talk, with tickets bought separately through Eventbrite.
