Expert opinions on International Relations

Without a shared governance baseline, AI in our sector might develop in proprietary and uneven ways, deepening the very divides the panel describes and leaving smaller and developing country operators behind.

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...

Because we have the same rules applicable everywhere in the world. No matter if you take a plane in Kabul or if you take a plane in New York, the same safety rules apply everywhere. This is exactly what we need to make AI a success for business and f...

A one-size-fits-all approach to AI governance will not be effective. We all face different risks, priorities, levels of digital development, and regulatory environments. Effective governance requires shared principles that can be implemented flexibly...

Large language models simply shouldn’t be used for targeting, since they will inevitably hallucinate and contribute to civilian harm.

The Government strongly believes that there is a need to maintain meaningful human control of all weapons systems, including any systems that may be developed. Our position is that, for such systems to comply with international humanitarian law, cont...

I need a reliable, steady partner that gives me something, that'll work with me on autonomous, because someday it'll be real and we're starting to see earlier versions of that.

The Republic of Korea declared our vision for establishing global AI hub together with 9 participating UN and related organizations to contribute to strengthening of global AI capacity.

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...

We need to slow down the development of AI around the world, and we need to bring the international community together to address the risk posed by AI.

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 conclusion is sobering: a global stop to the development of superintelligent AI seems impossible.

Coordinate export controls and trusted circulation of dual-use technologies. Align the development and administration of dual-use export control frameworks and strengthen coordination with like-minded partners to ensure coherent, risk-based implement...

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

We approach this moment with cautious optimism embracing AI’s potential while remaining mindful of risks, standards, governance, and, most importantly, ensuring that all global voices are empowered in shaping the AI discourse.

Yeah, I, so I tend to share Tom's pessimism about the likelihood of new international agreements in this space at all. But I will say I do think there's probably some space for thinking about interoperability and other related AI questions, legal int...

Congress should launch an investigation into the scale of the breach, which is likely significant, and institute stronger export controls to prevent China from accessing American hardware.

They would have to limit everything.

SAFE confidentially collects and analyzes AI incidents and near misses, promptly informs affected parties and turns recurring failures into shared, evidence-based controls that reduce systemic risk.

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...

Europe, Canada or other countries can be put in an extremely vulnerable position if they are cut off from advanced AI models.

Europe should prioritize “code over concrete.”

One of the ways to achieve both individual empowerment and checks and balances is to make sure you put the technology in everybody's hands.

A compute permit system would face its own challenges: defining which training runs qualify as high-stakes, preventing developers from fragmenting workloads to stay below thresholds, and ensuring that monitoring infrastructure does not become a tool ...

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...

A regulatory trigger calibrated to compute volume does not measure what it purports to measure, and it was designed around a snapshot of model architecture that the industry has already moved beyond.

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...

Create a single, dedicated talent hub, accompanied by 1-5 separate compute hubs;

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 ...

Coordinated deployment of existing, planned, and within-reach European and other bridge power AI compute capacity is likely to provide sufficient computational resources to produce frontier AI models in the next few years, although significantly more...
