A starting point for discussion
The idea
The interpretation proposes placing stop rules in the constitution and requiring a two-thirds vote in favor to remove a trigger. This is meant to protect a safeguard from removal by a simple majority, meaning more than half of the relevant votes. The appropriate threshold and the protections covered remain open.
Place in the reasoning
AI assessment · Connected to reasoning
Tentatively proposes constitutional stop rules and a higher removal threshold; threshold and protected scope remain open.
Rules for stopping AI need clear powers and limits
The proposal concerns entrenching a stop safeguard while leaving triggers, scope, and adjudication unresolved.
What this means and why it matters
What this means
Changing a constitutional stop rule would require a two-thirds vote in favor of removing the condition that triggers the stop. This is offered as a possible requirement.
Why it matters
A higher voting requirement could protect safeguards from quick removal, but could also make changes harder. The interpretation does not settle the right requirement.
Conditions & assumptions
The proposed voting requirement is not a proven safeguard. Broad rules that apply to everyone may have unexpected effects as legal categories change.
