Recommended Policy Intervention: Mandate safety verification buffer and independent oversight

Crunch Time Dynamics & Safety Buffers

Read the explanation

In the simulator, AI capability acceleration races ahead while alignment confidence erodes when safety verification buffers remain low. Under the Unbounded Scaling preset, rapid velocity drives crunch risk index to eighty-eight point five, pushing the system into critical deficit. Selecting Balanced Moratorium or increasing regulatory friction expands safety runway, pulling the crunch index back below the critical boundary.
