Nonprofit focused on advanced AI safety

As the U.S. and China currently lead the world in AI capabilities by a substantial margin, this draft is framed as a bilateral agreement between the two countries, to be later joined by other nations. Authority to modify the Agreement and perform independent verification rests with the members of an Executive Council, initially and perhaps ultimately consisting of the U.S. and China.
