Justice Lens: Amodei's proposal to coordinate pacing to help AI developers keep a commercial advantage and allow the US to keep leading in the AI frontier gives these groups a distinct advantage over workers, citizens of other countries, and future generations. The Justice Lens focuses on making choices that give people fair or equal treatment; however, this is not what this proposal does. AI developers, especially those working on more developed models, are put above smaller developers and workers. They are allowed to keep their commercial standing while other companies may struggle to keep up because the pacing would restrict them more. Also, this could impact workers in this field because they could lose jobs due to the lack of work, also putting strain on other fields with a potential flood of people looking for work. By allowing the US to keep a geopolitical advantage in terms of AI, our citizens would have an unfair advantage in terms of access to AI tools compared to the citizens of other countries. This lack of technology could also impact the ability for other countries to create solutions to problems they face. Going back to the top of the article, AI does have the ability to further medical studies, so other countries won't have access to the technology that could help its people with medical issues.

Common Good Lens: I chose to focus on the Common Good lens to complicate my response because it focuses on some systems I mentioned prior, as well as some I want to mention. I do understand that having pacing good positively impact the AI development community, but the tradeoff is the harm to other communities. As I mentioned earlier, citizens in other countries may not have as much access to AI if the US is able to keep its lead in AI. Their communities are impacted because they will be unable to use this technology to create solutions that could strengthen the systems that uphold their community, such as education or medical care. I also want to touch on future generations now. One thing that is a community-wide (and humanity-wide) need is access to clean water and an overall clean environment. One thing that AI, particularly Generative AI, does is use water to cool down data centers. There have been many people who have shared stories of living near data centers and have their water become dirtier or almost non-existent when they turn on the faucet. This not only affects drinking water, but also these people's ability to cook and clean. If AI continues to grow, even with pacing, with the US at the forefront, it is likely that this issue will become more widespread as we need more data centers to keep up with the demands of AI. This could continue these issues into future generations, potentially even worse. This would go against the common good and could impact the healthcare and other systems communities rely on for health and maintaining a safe standard of living.
