As a leading researcher in AI, I strongly believe that frontier AI labs have a responsibility to contribute to a global AI safety fund. Given the rapid advancement and potential impact of AI, ensuring safety and ethical considerations should be a priority for everyone in the field. Our contributions can support research and initiatives that address potential risks and ensure AI benefits all of humanity.

I strongly believe that global AI governance frameworks must prioritize equitable access to AI technologies for all countries. AI has the potential to address many global challenges, but only if access is fair and inclusive. Developing nations should have the means to utilize AI to improve their economies and societies, and we must avoid a future where these transformative tools are concentrated in the hands of a few powerful nations.

As AI technology rapidly advances, the concentration of power in a few private firms poses significant risks to society. Nationalizing AI firms ensures that these technologies are developed and managed in the public's best interest, with proper oversight and accountability.
