AI leaders want to ‘pace the frontier’ as part of a safety slowdown. But how?

A group of major AI companies released a statement supporting a "safety-first" approach to AI development but did not specify concrete mechanisms for slowing advancement.

The statement was released without accompanying technical standards or enforcement procedures.
