Open Telemetry as a First Metrological Layer for Technical AI Governance

TL;DR:Researchers and leaders at frontier labs are increasingly calling for the collective development of governance tools to pace the frontier of AI development.Current on-chip GPU telemetry could provide a starting point towards an international standard for compute verification. GPUs already expose telemetry signals that can distinguish training from inference with high accuracy. The main limitation is trust: in an adversarial setting, these signals can still be manipulated, forged, or replay...
