Explain one way to verify an AI agreement
Pick one verification mechanism, such as network taps, trusted execution environments, chip telemetry or satellite monitoring, and write a short, clear analysis of how it works and how it could fail.
MIRI TGT published a draft international agreement to prevent premature superintelligence. Pick one article and ask: how would it be verified, enforced and evaded?
Detailed proposals improve fastest when people outside the team attack specific clauses with care.

Recommend one, and say what evidence would change your mind.
Keep it to two pages and get feedback from someone who disagrees.

Pick three lessons Zaidi and Dafoe draw from the failed attempt at international control of nuclear weapons. For each, argue whether it transfers to AI compute: chips are easier to track than ideas but harder than uranium.
Pick one decision-maker, one AI risk and one decision they actually face. Lay out the options and make a clear recommendation in two pages.
