Comment from Ella Duus (Center on AI, Security, and Technology Fellow at the RAND Corporation)

Summary: The RAND Center on AI, Security, and Technology argues that the current antitrust guidelines create uncertainty that chills necessary collaboration among frontier AI developers on security and safety research. They recommend that the DOJ and FTC issue updated guidance, including a specific "frontier model security safety zone" and a vetting procedure, to allow for coordinated R&D on national security risks while maintaining antitrust scrutiny.
