OpenAI CEO Sam Altman proposed a US-led international forum to establish global AI standards in a Financial Times opinion piece. This body would define safety and governance protocols while providing expert analysis on AI capabilities and risks. The framework ensures the technology remains available to international allies.
Altman compared the concept to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The proposal follows the G7 summit, where Altman and tech executives discussed a unified approach to AI regulation with world leaders.
Altman’s vision requires elected representatives and citizens to establish the rules governing AI development. He advocates for democratic oversight to manage the technology's global impact.
