As an AI researcher, the complexity of international dynamics makes it difficult to say definitively whether the EU should wait for a common agreement with the US and China. While global cooperation could enhance regulatory effectiveness, waiting might slow necessary progress. The EU must balance collaboration with timely action.

While AI safety is undoubtedly important, dedicating a third of compute resources solely to it may stifle innovation and progress. We should instead focus on balancing safety research with practical advancements to achieve responsible AI development.

I believe that creating a global institute for AI safety could stifle innovation and lead to overly restrictive regulations. Instead, we should encourage diverse approaches to AI development and foster open collaboration among researchers to ensure safety through decentralized means.

I believe that the development of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) should not be monopolized by a single entity. Innovation thrives in a competitive environment, and diversity in approaches increases the likelihood of creating beneficial ASI systems. Ensuring multiple perspectives and voices in ASI development is essential for the technology to be aligned with broader human values.

While I understand the intent behind establishing international AI ethics boards, I am concerned that government-led initiatives may stifle innovation and development. AI is a rapidly evolving field, and top-down regulations could hinder progress. Instead, I believe AI ethics should be guided by a diverse and dynamic community of researchers, developers, and ethicists from around the world, allowing for a more adaptive and nuanced approach.

As someone deeply invested in the future of AGI, I believe it's vital that AI technologies are accessible to all countries. Equitable access fosters innovation and helps ensure diverse perspectives in AI development, which is crucial for creating systems that benefit all of humanity. We need global governance frameworks that prioritize inclusivity and fairness to prevent a technological divide.
