Should frontier labs be legally required to halt training runs that fail safety evaluations?

Lawmakers are debating whether frontier AI labs must halt training runs that fail designated safety evaluations.

B1

The five positions

anchors carry the meaning, the scale cannot drift as discourse drifts
1

No mandate: labs self-govern; regulation freezes progress and hands the lead to rivals.

2

Disclosure duty only: publish eval results and let markets and insurers react.

3

Independent third-party evals with public scorecards; halting stays voluntary.

4

Regulator-ordered halts at defined red lines (bio, cyber, autonomy thresholds).

5

Mandatory halt plus personal executive liability: treat failed evals like unsafe aircraft.
