Comment by Margrethe Vestager
Former EU Commission executive vice-president for Competition; AI governance advocate
These technologies – with their extraordinary potential benefits and equally extraordinary risks – cannot be governed by any single country, no matter how powerful it is. Effective governance requires exactly what we are missing: legitimate, effective global cooperation. [...] Rather than creating bureaucracy, [we need] frameworks similar to aviation safety or pandemic surveillance systems — technical cooperation grounded in shared self-interest, with mechanisms for rapid information sharing and coordinated responses.

AI Verified
Verified via web search (both Korea Times and Project Syndicate returned HTTP 403 on direct fetch). Search confirms Margrethe Vestager (former EU Commission EVP for Competition) wrote in "New World Order or Bust" (Project Syndicate, Feb 2026; syndicated by Korea Times) that these technologies "cannot be governed by any single country, no matter how powerful it is," that "effective governance requires exactly what we are missing: legitimate, effective global cooperation," and proposed frameworks "similar to aviation safety or pandemic surveillance systems" with mechanisms for rapid information sharing and coordinated responses. Author attribution and year (2026) are correct. I updated source_url from the Korea Times syndication to the primary Project Syndicate original. The "for" vote on "Establish an international AI incident reporting system" aligns with her advocacy for cross-border technical cooperation with rapid information-sharing mechanisms.
