Expert opinions on International Relations

For funders and international community: support and/or collaborate with local actors best placed to detect AI harm, and back efforts to establish cross-border AI incident information sharing.

Rather than creating entirely new channels, policymakers should focus on ensuring that existing channels can effectively incorporate information related to frontier models and agents. Building on trusted relationships will be faster and more effectiv...

What humanity needs is an international AI nonproliferation treaty.

The U.S. and China won’t move in lockstep on AI safety, and forging mutually binding agreements with real teeth is probably not possible right now.

Government should be pressing Washington for published criteria before access is restricted, advance warning and exemptions for allies, as we already handle security of supply in energy and defense. At home, it should require critical infrastructure ...

We can’t just invest in software and hardware; we have to invest in sovereignty.

Europe should prioritize “code over concrete.”

If humans want to stay in charge of their own civilization, it will take more than a unilateral temporary pause.

The question that the noble Lord posed was: do we therefore go for a moratorium? That would be highly desirable, but I do not think that it will be possible in the short term.

The Technology Secretary rejected calls to pause the development of artificial intelligence, describing such a move as “a double betrayal” of British talent and British interests.

While we continue to work toward a world free from both nuclear weapons and autonomous killing machines, we welcome the focus in the ongoing negotiations on ensuring ‘meaningful human control’ over autonomous weapons.

A broad consensus has emerged that, regardless of the system, humans must retain responsibility for decisions to use force.

A total prohibition on all autonomous weapons would likely fail to distinguish between high-risk anti-personnel systems and narrowly bounded defensive systems used against incoming missiles or munitions.

AI safety won't be solved by any single company working in secret. It will be solved in the open, collaboratively, with broad access to AI for every defender, everywhere.

The time has come for a more systematic approach to AI regulation — funded by the industry, staffed by world-class technical experts, and answerable to the U.S. government.

We think it’s still good to recommend what would actually be good, even if you think that your audience is probably not going to listen.

A doctrine whose trigger mechanism can be this thoroughly disputed cannot function as a deterrent. Deterrence requires certainty. MAD worked because both sides knew, with something close to certainty, what a launch would produce. MACD, as currently s...

AI should become a bridge for cooperation, not a tool for division. WAICO will also help ensure AI is managed in a safe, trustworthy, and ethical manner.

But the main regret I have with this talk is that I wish I had prepared a more for the section on a “CERN for AI.” The idea behind such a project is to pool many countries’ and companies’ resources into a single (possibly physically decentralized) ci...

There are many conceivable versions of a “CERN for AI.” But the version that seems politically realistic (a new catch-up lab) probably would not do much for safety, while the versions that would materially improve safety (e.g., pause + merge of all c...

AI should become a bridge for cooperation, not a tool for division. WAICO will also help ensure AI is managed in a safe, trustworthy, and ethical manner.

The answer isn't convergence for its own sake. We can push too hard on one thing. But if you have one standard, you could risk a lowest common denominator outcome that can cost us the innovation system as well and might have a risk on the national in...

We are in an AI race with the Chinese Communist Party that’s powered by the advanced chips, and the winner will determine the future of global military superiority. I’m leading the AI OVERWATCH Act to reinforce President Trump’s policy and ensure con...

China consistently opposes any practice of overstretching the concept of national security and abusing export controls.

The AI OVERWATCH Act would help protect U.S. technological leadership by strengthening U.S. policy that prevents advanced American AI chips from flowing to China, where they can be used to accelerate military modernization and undermine U.S. national...

They would have to limit everything.

Since the release of the National AI Plan in December 2025, a top priority has been getting the AI Safety Institute (AISI) up and running with the right people to lead it. Because we are not building a think tank. We are building a national testing c...

The physical foundations of frontier artificial intelligence, the fabrication of advanced semiconductors and the operation of computing infrastructure at the largest scales, shall be subject to international transparency, so that the concentration of...

According to the proposed rule, a covered US person will be required to provide quarterly reports to BIS if the US person “engages in, or plans, within six months, to engage in ‘applicable activities.’” “Applicable activities” include: “Conducting a...

AI training run reporting rules should be developed through a distinct study process. We also recommend clarification of the rules to distinguish between pre- and post-training activities like fine-tuning. Fine-tuning a qualified model should not tri...

Artificial Intelligence is transforming our world, and Europe must take bold steps to ensure its leadership in this critical field. CAIRNE envisions a “CERN for AI”—a pan-European initiative that will create a distributed network of AI research cente...

A semi-distributed structure, with a few core facilities, leveraging members' comparative advantages. Core facilities—fewer in number than the participating states—are necessary to create a critical mass of talent. Similarly, distributed compute can ...
