AI 2040: Plan A with Thomas Larsen

​AI 2040: Plan A is a detailed positive scenario for how humanity might avoid a dangerous race to superintelligence and reach a flourishing future. It proposes buying time, making AI research transparent, distributing frontier capabilities across multiple countries and companies, and preserving reversibility through enforceable compute governance.

​Join Thomas Larsen, co-author of AI 2027 and lead author of AI 2040, for a presentation and discussion of Plan A: why the team frames it as a recommendation rather than a prediction, how the proposal would slow the race to superintelligence until 2040, and where its assumptions, tradeoffs, and implementation challenges deserve scrutiny.
