As one could probably infer from my writings over the years, I think there are some reasons why that's imperfect but it is *a* grand strategy.

What else is out there?

Perhaps:
- Pool our work in a "CERN for AI"
- Pause AI
- Heavy regulation of the frontier, more lax below it

An example of an AI policy grand strategy: "open source everything, because this distributes capabilities widely (and good people will build good things with them), and reduces the likelihood of a single party dominating things. Also it means people can analyze the tech more."

As in foreign policy, it's possible to be *too* into grand strategy + neglect details. We need more of both IMO.

Note: grand strategy as I use it is different from "AI [ethics] principles" which rarely have a causal "story" of how we get to a good outcome.

Something I've been thinking about lately - the AI policy space doesn't debate different "grand strategies" enough. I mean that term in roughly the way it's used in foreign policy - a high level vision for achieving policy goals - though specifically global ones, not national.

The statement is part of a public discourse on AI policy and strategy, focusing on the need for international collaboration in AI research to advance the field. The tone is informative and constructive, proposing a solution to a recognized issue in AI development. The content directly addresses public concerns about the stagnation in AI progress and suggests a collaborative approach modeled after successful scientific collaborations like CERN.
