There are real parallels between the development of nuclear technology and the buildout of AI systems, but the atomic age “cannot provide a ready-made blueprint for the problem that AI poses,” write @claroche.bsky.social and @nktpnd.bsky.social.

Recent state-level laws establishing reporting regimes have expanded the reach of government regulators over the AI industry, but the lack of a clear investigatory regime remains a glaring omission and limits the effectiveness of these laws, writes @claroche.bsky.social.

The Forensic Gap in AI Safety Laws
State AI laws require developers to report safety incidents—but not what investigation follows or what evidence they must keep.

This, with @claroche.bsky.social in @ejir.bsky.social, was the most fun I’ve had writing a paper in years. A quick thread on what we do here. This paper argues IR theories tell stories, and stories get their meaning from their particular endings. /1

Thoughtful piece from Nicole Grajewski. Damage is substantial -- but so is the incentive to move forward. "Military action can destroy equipment and facilities, but it cannot eliminate knowledge, dispersed materials, or the underlying strategic drivers of nuclear weapons development."
