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 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.
