What about European regulations about genetic experimentation and GMO technology? The experiments in the broadest sense literally do not exist. They are not supposed to. I mean, the GMO regulation papers are always referring to "nascent" technology. So existence is itself a dichotomous term for vague future capabilities. So why can't people argue that alignment research is just a subset of the precautionary principle, which has already been applied to other such domains, at least in Europe? Precaution implies an absence of knowledge, but still having the agency for society and institutions to do something about it.
