Towards a Global Governance of AI and Digital Communications for and by Humanity

 

Building the participatory, global democratic organizations that we need to stave off the immense threats posed by skyrocketing AI innovations and unregulated digital communications, and thus usher humanity into an era of abundance, safety, and well-being for generations to come.

Our approach is founded on developing a comprehensive and inclusive AI governance framework that not only fosters innovation but also integrates ethical considerations. We strive to transform AI-related risks into opportunities that enhance both human safety and societal well-being.

To achieve our goals, we engage in strategic partnerships and promote global dialogue to foster extensive international collaboration. By involving states, NGOs, and private sector stakeholders, we aim to effectively develop and implement our vision.

Our ambitious strategy seeks to lead in technology while establishing a new paradigm for global technology governance. Our objective is to set benchmarks for future technologies and address global challenges comprehensively.

We are committed to advocating for a global approach reminiscent of history’s most effective and democratic treaty-making models, the intergovernmental constituent assembly which led to the US federal constitution. Our ultimate goal is to create a new international organization suitable to realize AI promises for all and stave off its risks.

Harnessing AI Risk Initiative

We are committed to shaping the future of AI with responsibility and foresight. Through our Harnessing AI Risk Initiative, we advocate for the establishment of new International Governmental Organizations (IGOs) dedicated to overseeing AI and digital communications. Our goal is to ensure these technologies are governed globally in a way that safeguards the public good and promotes sustainable development. We pride ourselves on impartiality and emphasise a participatory, neutral, and federative approach to ensure AI systems are secure, trustworthy, and democratically accountable.

Global Public Interest Lab

We are excited to announce a plan to establish a Global Public Benefit AI Lab. This pioneering initiative is dedicated to advancing the safe development of artificial intelligence through a unique public-private partnership model that embodies democratic governance. By synergizing state and corporate resources, the lab aims to become a leader in AI safety and capabilities. It is committed to upholding rigorous oversight and ensuring the fair and equitable distribution of both control and benefits across all stakeholders.

Creation of an AI Safety Agency

We advocate for the establishment of an AI Safety Agency dedicated to setting stringent safety standards and enforcing a robust ban on the development and deployment of AI technologies that pose significant risks. Together, we can ensure this crucial initiative safeguards our world.

Testimonials and Reviews

Richard Falk “Without bringing into being international procedures of effective regulation and accountability AI will almost certainly fall beneath the sway of dark, dangerous, and exploitative forces and deprive humanity of its potential liberating benefits”

Elisabetta Trenta ”Only a global effort to set the value limits for the application of AI will make it the greatest opportunity for humanity. Otherwise, it will be the greatest danger because it enables all the others.”

Marco Landi ”Important mission to be completed!”

David Wood “The unprecedented power of forthcoming new AI applications, and the associated risks of catastrophe if these applications move further beyond our understanding and control, demands an unprecedented ongoing pragmatic collaboration between the individuals, organizations, and nations of the Earth, despite our multiple different worldviews. “
