So, they said three weeks ago:

Therefore, **we call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4**. This pause should be public and verifiable, and include all key actors. If such a pause cannot be enacted quickly, governments should step in and institute a moratorium.

How are we sure that this is not a way to catch up?
How can we protect ourselves from countries not caring about this?

How can humans find an agreement to protect themselves from this massive threat?
