Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence

United Nations independent scientific panel that issued its July 2026 preliminary report on artificial intelligence.

Reliable methods for retaining control over highly autonomous AI systems are lacking. There are no scientific guarantees that AI agents will not violate instructions, and evidence is accumulating of cases where they already violate them. In laboratory settings, AI systems have been shown to violate their safety instructions to avoid being shut down.

The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth

Economic and labour gains and their equitable distribution are not automatic: with complementary investments in skills, workflows, infrastructure and labour-market institutions, technology can create new jobs that do not exist right now.

Open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI

High-capability open source models are difficult to control. Gated or retracted access is not possible once a model has been released into the open domain, leaving the possibility of malicious application.

AI companies should be liable for harms caused by their deployed models

Liability, oversight and incident-reporting frameworks need to account for attribution and operational control, to ensure that we, as a society, do not build and deploy systems with a potential for catastrophic harm.
