Mustafa Suleyman (CEO of Microsoft AI, Co-Founder and former Head of applied AI at DeepMind, Co-Founder of Inflection AI) says:
“We need our generation’s equivalent of the nuclear treaty to shape a common worldwide approach – in this case not curbing proliferation altogether but setting limits and building frameworks for management and mitigation that, like the wave, cross borders. This would put clear limits on what work is undertaken, mediate among national licensing efforts, and create a framework for reviewing both. Where there is a clear scope for a new body or bodies is with technical concerns. A dedicated regulator that navigates contentious geopolitics (as much as possible), avoids overreach, and performs pragmatic monitoring function on broadly objective criteria is urgently needed. Think of something like the International Atomic Energy Agency”.
