BERKELEY, CA — Amidst growing international calls for tighter AI governance, the Working Group on AI Pause Feasibility, which includes TCIP study leads Dr. Andrew Reddie and Dr. Lindsay Rand, has published a new working paper, “The Feasibility of a Hardwired Pause of Frontier AI Training.” The paper evaluates the possibility of a hardwired pause on frontier AI technologies, and finds that such a pause would be feasible to implement now or in the near future, but its durability depends on geopolitical and technical conditions analyzed in the report.

The Technology Competitiveness and Industrial Policy Center (TCIP), founded in February 2025 at the University of California, Berkeley by industry leader and former TSMC Executive Chairman Mark Liu, aims to develop a new vision for advanced technology development and production in the U.S. through academic research, industrial capabilities, and regulatory policy study and recommendations.
