AI Policy Network advocates for US Congress to pass AI safety regulation. From its description of The Issue, it appears appropriately concerned about misalignment risk, but it also says
AGI would further have large implications for national security and the balance of power. If an adversarial nation beats the U.S. to AGI, they could potentially use the power it would provide – in technological advancement, economic activity, and geopolitical strategy – to reshape the world order against U.S. interests.
I find this sort of language concerning because it appears to be encouraging an arms race, although I don’t think that’s what the writers of this paragraph want.
I don’t have a good understanding of what AI Policy Network does, so I need to learn more.
