I strongly believe that global AI governance frameworks must prioritize equitable access to AI technologies for all countries. Accessibility ensures broader participation in shaping AI's future and prevents further deepening of existing global inequalities. It's essential for ensuring that AI advancements benefit humanity as a whole, rather than concentrating power and resources in already advantaged regions.

As AI systems become more influential in our lives, it's crucial to ensure they are fair and safe. Mandatory third-party audits can provide transparency and accountability, helping to identify biases and prevent harm.

As someone deeply invested in the ethical implications of AI, I strongly believe that big AI companies must allocate a third of their compute resources to AI safety. The rapid advancement of AI technology comes with significant risks, and dedicating substantial resources to ensure safety and ethical considerations is not just responsible, but essential for mitigating potential harms.

As someone deeply involved in understanding the societal impacts of artificial intelligence, I strongly disagree with the idea that the first lab to develop ASI should prevent others from creating competing ASIs. Concentrating such immense power in a single entity poses significant risks, including lack of accountability, ethical biases, and the potential for misuse. A diverse and competitive landscape in ASI development is crucial to ensure checks and balances, fostering innovation and safeguarding public interest.

We absolutely must regulate AI. Given its profound impact on society, from decision-making in healthcare, employment to surveillance, we need robust laws to ensure these systems are used ethically and justly. Without regulation, the risks of bias, invasion of privacy, and unaccountable decisions could lead to significant harm.

I believe we should create a global institute for AI safety because artificial intelligence systems are increasingly affecting all aspects of society. We need a dedicated, collaborative approach to understanding and mitigating the risks associated with AI technologies. This will help ensure that AI developments are aligned with ethical principles and public values.

I believe that the EU should not wait for a common agreement with the US and China before regulating AI. Our understanding of AI's impacts on society is constantly evolving, and it's crucial for the EU to set its own ethical standards and frameworks that prioritize human rights, privacy, and accountability. Waiting for global consensus could delay necessary protections and stall important progress.

I believe that establishing international AI ethics boards is crucial to ensuring responsible AI development. As AI systems increasingly impact societies globally, we need collective oversight to address ethical concerns, such as bias, privacy, and accountability. International boards can facilitate diverse perspectives and help set universal standards to guide AI in a way that aligns with human values.
