First of all, let’s not forget that A.I. is a tremendous opportunity — if used responsibly. But responsibility at the frontier cannot be left to chance or to any single company or country. Just as the world built institutions to govern nuclear power — with the IAEA at the core of a U.N. framework — we should work with partners on a global architecture for A.I. that can set clear rules for the most compute-intensive systems, assess risks, and verify compliance. That means independent testing, shared scientific expertise, and an international authority that can see across borders. Europe will do its part. But only a U.N.-anchored, IAEA‑like approach for the highest‑risk A.I. can give citizens everywhere the confidence that this technology will be safe and trustworthy. (2024) source Unverified
