  In this paper, we argue that competitive pressures could incentivize AI
companies to underinvest in ensuring their systems are safe, secure, and have a
positive social impact. Ensuring that AI systems are developed responsibly may
therefore require preventing and solving collective action problems between
companies. We note that there are several key factors that improve the
prospects for cooperation in collective action problems. We use this to
identify strategies to improve the prospects for industry cooperation on the
responsible development of AI.
