Under the RAND Corporation's strategic taxonomy, the co-development archetype involves a consortium pooling compute and establishing layered verification, which risks making non-democratic founding values the default

The RAND Corporation compiled a Security Architecture Catalog detailing 106 distinct technical and institutional capabilities required to support strategic freedom of action regarding artificial general intelligence

The RAND Corporation report 'A U.S. Strategy to Secure Geopolitical Advantage on an Uncertain Path to Superintelligence' identifies seven strategic archetypes: acceleration, dominance, co-development, preparedness for coexistence, moratorium, deterrence, and continuity of society

Under the RAND Corporation's strategic taxonomy, the deterrence archetype involves halting domestic frontier AI while suppressing rival programs through force if necessary

Game-theoretic analysis conducted at the RAND Corporation suggests that in a competitive AI race, the default equilibrium strategy between rival powers is mutual sabotage rather than cooperation

The RAND Corporation report 'A U.S. Strategy to Secure Geopolitical Advantage on an Uncertain Path to Superintelligence' defines five pivotal uncertainties: proximity to dangerous AI, feasibility of coexistence, feasibility of restraint, reachability of decisive strategic advantage, and feasibility of suppression

Under the RAND Corporation's strategic taxonomy, the dominance archetype involves leading at the frontier and suppressing rivals, risking extreme power concentration and value lock-in

Under the RAND Corporation's strategic taxonomy, the moratorium archetype seeks a verifiable global halt to frontier AI progress, risking the emergence of an intrusive global surveillance regime for enforcement

Maintaining a decisive strategic advantage achieved via a rapid takeoff is vulnerable to erosion over time through model theft, model distillation, and diffusion

A decisive strategic advantage in artificial intelligence would require translating frontier technological leadership simultaneously into economic gains, weapon systems, concepts of operations, and military doctrine
