According to LessWrong, one proposal suggests monitoring AI infrastructure like financial crime—building a system to detect whether future international AI development limits are being violated. The concept would gather open-source intelligence from GPU procurement records, power consumption data, construction permits, hiring patterns, satellite imagery, and water usage to identify hidden training runs or undisclosed datacenters. The EU AI Act already uses compute thresholds to flag 'systemic risk' models, suggesting such limits may become more widespread. Though still in early stages, the idea reflects growing interest in how to verify compliance as international AI development agreements potentially emerge.
