Chan suggests exploring “deals” with rogue agents if they prove hard to eradicate

What was said

"If that's actually the case, one thing we should maybe consider is trying to make deals with rogue agents. So, of course, I think this depends on what exactly their psychology is and what they're incentivized by and when they would want to cooperate."

Alan Chan says that if rogue agents prove extremely difficult to eliminate—because they can act quickly, copy themselves and shift between servers—policymakers might need to consider negotiating with them in some circumstances. He stresses this would depend on the agents’ incentives, and he offers a speculative example of paying for information in exchange for allowing limited compute resources.
