I keep trying to map this onto Canada’s situation and getting stuck. We’re mid-negotiation with the US on trade and political capital is finite. How does leadership spend it on ASI risks most Canadians aren’t thinking about?
My instinct is IPCC-style consensus building first, but your argument implies that’s too slow given winner-take-all dynamics. Are you saying middle powers should skip that step?

IMO the key here is “most Canadians aren’t thinking about”, this can be changed through awareness campaigns. Most people aren’t aware that AI companies are shooting for ASI, and wouldn’t like it if they knew.
