International AI Cooperation
“Five years ago, when we proposed building more ethical and safer AI, we discussed nearly every issue being debated today — yet none of these problems have been resolved. We need a platform capable of bringing together 193 member states to seriously discuss and solve these problems. There is no more suitable convener than the United Nations.”

“We need a global joint platform for frontier AI safety evaluation: shared testing environments, unified evaluation benchmarks, and joint red-teaming exercises. We must also advance capacity building, so that developing countries are not left behind in AI development and governance.”

“The evolution of frontier AI systems has, in a meaningful sense, outpaced human understanding. Effective control is stretched thin. We are no longer dealing with tools that merely execute instructions. We are building intelligent systems capable of reasoning, planning, and generating novel solutions across domains — from scientific discovery to economic decision-making — sometimes producing outputs that exceed the tasks we assigned them.”

“Third is the competitive dynamics effect. When countries and companies race to develop more powerful systems, ethics and safety are often relegated to afterthought add-ons, or even viewed as obstacles to progress. This is a dangerous fallacy. Ethics and safety are not merely brakes to be applied when risks emerge — they are the steering wheel that guides the direction of development.”
