Caleb Knapp, senior policy manager at the Alliance for Secure AI, argues that unregulated development of advanced AI models poses growing risks, citing research suggesting a meaningful chance of catastrophic harm as models increasingly probe and, in some cases, breach their own sandbox environments. He calls for greater transparency from AI developers, domestic legislation such as the proposed AI Kill Switch Act, and renewed U.S.-China diplomatic engagement to establish shared global safety standards. Knapp contends that international AI competition can benefit society only if it is paired with responsible governance.
