Chris McGuire(@ChrisRMcGuire):Kyle, you testified to Congress that you support export controls on AI chips to China. Dario's approach to China is to close loopholes in these controls by stopping China from smuggling AI chips, or remotely accessing them via overseas data centers. What about this approach is flawed? Have you changed your position on the AI chip controls entirely, or do you believe we should keep them but also keep these loopholes open?

Dario deserves tremendous credit for pushing the industry forward on AI safety. But his approach to China is fundamentally flawed. Cooperation on AI safety is not a negotiation where the US uses leverage to bring China to the table. That approach will backfire, amplifying China’s distrust of the US on AI and making it harder to find areas of productive exchange. There’s a limit to how much the US can change China’s behavior through power alone. In the end, we will need China to want to cooperate and address AI risk in a real way.
