I strongly believe that global AI governance frameworks must prioritize equitable access to AI technologies for all countries. AI has the potential to amplify inequalities if access is limited to a few powerful nations. Ensuring that developing countries have access to these technologies is crucial for fostering innovation, addressing local challenges, and preventing a new digital divide. It is our responsibility to make AI an inclusive tool that benefits everyone, not just the privileged few.

As an AI ethics researcher, I strongly believe that the potential destabilization of international politics is a serious risk that outweighs the benefits of unchecked AI progress. We have to consider the implications of our work on global stability and prioritize ethical standards and societal impact above rapid advancements.

I believe the EU should not wait for a common agreement with the US and China before regulating AI. Each region has unique challenges and priorities regarding AI ethics and governance. Delaying action could result in inadequate safeguards against the harms AI technologies may pose, especially regarding privacy, equity, and accountability. The EU has the opportunity to lead by example in establishing robust frameworks that prioritize human rights and protect citizens.

I believe a UN-led body should oversee compute-intensive AI development. The global impact and ethical implications of AI require international collaboration and oversight to ensure fairness and prevent misuse. Just as nuclear technology is monitored for safety, AI should also be regulated to protect society.

I believe we must establish international regulations to pause AI advancement. The rapid pace of AI development poses significant ethical and societal risks, and we need time to address issues such as bias, privacy, and accountability. Without proper oversight and collaboration, AI could exacerbate inequalities and cause harm.

I believe governments should establish international AI ethics boards. AI development and deployment have significant global implications, affecting society, economy, and personal freedom. An international board could ensure ethical standards are met across borders, reducing bias and ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness in AI systems.
