Abstract
Neither peace between states nor trade in services between states exists without rules. It is a misconception to believe that a free-for-all, an unregulated competition for more powerful weapons or a larger market share, benefits any state. Historical experience demonstrates that trade functions better with legal rules, whether it is for goods or services. And AI services across borders are a form of trade in services. Similarly, weapons of mass destruction, as well as weapons that lose control after deployment, like landmines or small arms, pose a risk to every state. This has led to international agreements on these types of weapons. AI is deployed globally via the internet and will become as ubiquitous as electricity. If control of AI is lost and it mutates into a risk, it could undermine the governability of any state. Therefore, maintaining governability is a common interest among states. Thus, there is a shared interest in adopting rules that ensure AI (regardless of how it is developed or how it mutates) does not undermine governability. The costs of hedging against potential intentional or unintentional threats to governability through AI will rise exponentially with the advancement of AI systems. To focus resources on the productive use of AI, it is in the interest of states to agree on multilateral rules that guarantee AI never undermines governability. Recognizing that we live in a global community of risks and opportunities, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the World Health Organization, and many other international organizations were created to manage specific risks for the benefit of states and humanity. There is no doubt that a similar international organization will be necessary for AI, and the costs for all states will be lower if this authority is established quickly. The question is not whether the world will follow the example of the EU's AI Regulation and the 'Brussels effect.' The question is whether the states of this world can define their interests rationally in light of a technology that, the more opportunities it offers, the more inherent risks it poses.
