AI Rivalry vs Common Good Equilibrium Dynamics

Read the explanation

In the baseline regime, intense rivalry among frontier labs stretches competitive friction and limits shared safety pooling to thirty percent, producing a thirty-four point two percent catastrophic risk. Selecting the Open Safety Consortium preset or increasing shared pooling draws labs closer toward the central accord hub, shrinking rivalry distance while expanding coordinated testing. Under the model's governing equations, pooled safety compute and regulation suppress catastrophic risk while elevating the Common Good Index toward robust public alignment.
