Top AI and Policy Experts Call for an International AI Safety Treaty
Summary
Signatories made the following accompanying statements on the record: Yoshua Bengio: "Governments should agree together that companies designing Frontier AI systems beyond some level of computational capability should be demonstrably safe. I am pleased to sign this call for new, strong, international institutions and common sense rules to govern the excesses of AI development, ones which threaten human safety and wellbeing on a grand scale." Geoffrey Odlum: "Based on my experience over a long career as a US diplomat working on nuclear nonproliferation treaties, I fully support this letter calling for the negotiation of an international AI safety treat. We need the great powers of the world, including the United States and China, to put aside their differences for the sake of humanity, and work constructively on building a robust set of international regulations aimed with a laser focus on these problems." • Max Tegmark – Distinguished physicist and co-founder of the Future of Life Institute, dedicated to ensuring that advanced technologies are developed and utilized in a manner that benefits all of humanity.
