I strongly believe AI-generated content should be clearly labeled to maintain transparency and trust. As AI influences more media and communication, it is crucial for the public to know what content is human-made versus machine-generated, enabling informed decision-making and mitigating misinformation.

I believe that AI will likely lead to a concentration of power. AI technologies are primarily developed by a few large tech companies, which already hold significant influence over our digital lives. This centralization could further widen the gap between those who control AI and the rest of society, resulting in disparities in power and access to opportunities.

As a strong proponent of inclusive and democratic governance, I firmly believe that frontier AI governance must include representatives from civil society and the Global South. These voices are essential to ensure that diverse perspectives and concerns are accounted for, particularly in technologies with such profound global impact. Without their input, AI governance risks perpetuating existing inequalities and ignoring critical cultural and ethical contexts. We must strive for an equitable framework where all stakeholders have a seat at the table.

I believe that a UN-led body should oversee compute-intensive AI development to ensure ethical standards and safeguard against misuse. Just like with nuclear technology, the global impact of artificial intelligence requires international cooperation and oversight.
