David Krueger proposes dismantling the AI compute supply chain to stop advanced AI

In a talk titled “Stop AI: How and Why,” University of Montreal and Mila professor David Krueger argues for stopping advanced AI development outright. He proposes dismantling the compute supply chain, including chips, fabs and the knowledge needed to build them. He also discusses hardware mechanisms and FLOP thresholds as options for stopping AI, and argues that growing backlash is making that goal more politically feasible.
