Interactive Tools

These tools have been created with the assistane of generative AI and are meant as thinking tools rather than definitive statements or claims. Please use them with that in mind.

The CASX Framework — Operational definitions and five-level rating scales for the four CASX dimensions (Capability, Autonomy, Scale, Access), with current frontier system benchmarks.

Regulatory Gate-Checker — Comparative models from nuclear, chemical, and aviation regulation applied to AI oversight, plus an interactive gate-checker for classifying hypothetical AI systems under the book’s regulatory framework.

G20 AI Governance Comparison — Filterable comparison of AI governance approaches across G20 member states.

AI Risk Stance Deck – Flip the cards to explore the AI Risk argument map. Who says what in the rhetoric around AI Risk.

What should governments do? – Exploring the CASX framework with an eye to regulation.

Loss of Control: AI Existential Risk–Interactive Bowtie Assessment - A quantitative risk visualisation of pathways to loss of human control over advanced AI. Modelled using Monte Carlo simulation (n=1,000 trials) with triangular probability distributions across all barrier and threat parameters. Click any element in the diagram to explore its parameters and expert justifications.

Tool–Actor Diagnostic – This framework evaluates technologies by degree of agency: whether they merely execute instructions or begin to act as independent actors within human systems.

Published p(doom) estimates, grouped by epistemic position – How AI researchers, industry leaders, and public intellectuals assess the probability of catastrophic or extinction-level outcomes from artificial intelligence. Grouped by underlying reasoning about whether external control mechanisms are sufficient, not by the numbers alone.
