The simplest form of treaty would be something like this: countries agree that if they do develop advanced AI, it will be done in a safe way; that they wouldn't use their advanced AI to dominate others — that includes economically, but of course politically and militarily; and finally, that the benefits of advanced AI will be shared. Otherwise it's not going to be a very stable world.AI Verified source (2026)

Quote confirmed via web search as being from Yoshua Bengio's 80,000 Hours podcast (Episode 243, April 16, 2026). The discussion of a treaty where countries commit to develop AI safely, not dominate others economically/politically/militarily, and share benefits is documented in multiple summaries of this episode (EA Forum, podcast descriptions). The closing phrase "Otherwise it's not going to be a very stable world" matches a previously-confirmed quote from the same episode. Vote "for" the statement "Nations should negotiate a binding international treaty on AI safety, similar to nuclear non-proliferation" aligns perfectly with Bengio's call for an international treaty. WebFetch returned 403 but multiple sources confirm.
