If mandated AI safety reviews are to have any teeth, they must be accompanied by a ban on dangerous AI models that have failed their assessments. This means that some method must be found to restrict access to dangerous open weight AI models. [...] Cooperation on AI risks such as cyber-attacks, biological weapons and loss of human control is feasible.
