I believe the EU should not wait for a common agreement with the US and China before regulating AI. The rapid development of AI presents immediate ethical and safety challenges that require timely and proactive regulation. Delaying action could lead to significant risks in areas such as privacy, bias, and autonomy. The EU has the opportunity to set a global standard for responsible AI use, independent of other nations.

I believe that establishing international AI ethics boards is crucial. As AI technology rapidly evolves, we need a coordinated global effort to ensure ethical standards are upheld and risks are mitigated. Such boards can help oversee AI development and deployment, ensuring that we consider potential societal impacts and prioritize human well-being.

I believe that global AI governance frameworks should absolutely prioritize equitable access to AI technologies for all countries. AI has the potential to revolutionize industries, improve healthcare, and tackle climate change, but these benefits should not be restricted to only a few nations. Ensuring equitable access helps bridge technological gaps, supports global development, and fosters innovation from diverse perspectives.

While I recognize the potential benefits and risks of AI, I believe the ethical implications are complex. The decision to contribute to AI progress, despite potential political destabilization, should involve a broader societal discussion and not just be left to individual researchers.
