So, an intergovernmental panel on A.I. would be one that has access to all of the largest commercial labs and academic labs all around the world developing these large language models. They would be able to probe them and test them, audit them, look at what data they are, you know, using to do training and try to find weaknesses and failure modes in the models. Once they discover those, they should then be able to share those with other national or international commercial competitors in order to improve the quality and performance of those models. But the first step is really just understanding and auditing and establishing the fact pattern of what are the boundaries that these models can’t cross today and what — where are they headed in the future. In short, we need a standing, global mechanism with legitimacy and access to oversee the most compute-intensive A.I. development, the way the IAEA oversees nuclear technology — not to stop progress, but to make it safe and accountable for everyone.
