AGI Strategy & Governance

Learning Objectives

  • Reconstruct the strongest version of the "race to AGI" national-security frame, and the strongest version of the case that the race itself is the danger
  • Evaluate governance levers (compute, export controls, lab security, liability, international coordination) as instruments serving competing strategic theories — not as ends in themselves
  • Form a defensible view on what a healthy AGI-strategy posture for the US and its allies should look like, and what it would buy us for safety
