Do AI and solar geoengineering papers treat governance the same way?
A reader argues that solar geoengineering papers model outlandish scenarios that would never be deployed, then call for worldwide consent. They ask whether AI papers follow the same pattern.

One reader says they've read many solar geoengineering papers but not enough AI research. They describe a pattern in the geoengineering papers: modeling scenarios they believe would never be deployed, then emphasizing governance and the need for the whole world to say “yes” before deployment. Their question is whether AI papers do the same.
