Finland, Norway lead 20 nations in call for global governance of frontier AI models
The Office of the President of Finland announced on the 21st that Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre have jointly launched an international initiative titled 'Call for Controlling Frontier AI Models.' The initiative, which has already gained support from 20 countries and the European Commission, remains open for additional signatories. It acknowledges AI's potential to improve livelihoods, advance science, and boost the global economy, but warns that unmanaged rapid development of frontier AI models poses serious security risks. The initiative emphasizes that AI must remain under human guidance, supervision, and control, and its development and use must comply with international law. It calls on companies to establish transparent safety protocols, including mandatory pre-deployment testing and independent assessments; urges countries and regional organizations to develop and coordinate common standards and enhance transparency, including reporting major safety incidents; and proposes that UN member states explore establishing an international institution to set standards, conduct verification, and convene meetings to discuss responses as needed.
