Defense-in-Depth Simulator

Simulate Amodei's multi-layer defense strategy against AI threats

About This Simulator

Amodei advocates for a defense-in-depth approach: no single measure can address all AI risks, so multiple overlapping layers of defense are needed. The innermost layer is AI training itself (Constitutional AI, RLHF). The middle layer consists of technical safeguards (interpretability tools, runtime monitoring). The outer layer includes policy measures (regulation, international norms). Activate or deactivate specific defenses, then launch threat scenarios to see how they penetrate or are blocked at each layer.
