AI Frontier Pacing & Enforcement Sandbox

Real-Time Frontier Trajectory & Containment

Horizon: 36 Months

Enforcement Teeth Index 38 Weighted statutory enforcement force

Frontier Containment Status Vulnerable to bypass Risk boundary integrity

Risk Mitigation Index 42% Composite pacing vs. capability delta

Audit Coverage Limited Third-party pre-deployment rigor

Frontier Capability Trajectory (Simulated 10^26+ FLOPs)

Containment Ceiling (Enforcement Teeth)

Critical Societal Risk Threshold

Enforcement Gap Analysis: Current voluntary pledges lack statutory inspection powers. With an Enforcement Teeth score of 38 and Limited audit coverage, the capability scaling vector outpaces containment within 11 months.

Governance Levers & Policy Knobs

Voluntary Commitments 30

Self-regulatory codes of conduct, unverified whitepapers, and trust pledges.

Independent Third-Party Audits 20

Accredited red-teaming, non-consensual code inspection, and capability bounds.

Binding Penalty Severity 15

Statutory fines as % of global turnover, compute seizure, and executive liability.

Whistleblower Protections 40

Legal immunity, bounty programs, and direct escalation channels to regulators.

Frontier Model Scaling Rate 2.4x

Annual computational training multiplier and reasoning leap velocity.

Based on reporting from The Verge examining tech industry calls to "pace the frontier" and demands from researchers for verifiable, legally binding governance teeth.
