The Appeal
We are asking governments to act.
We call on every nation to ensure that a credible public body is responsible for advanced AI safety. Where no adequate body exists, we ask governments to establish or designate a national AI safety committee, council, institute or equivalent. We ask these bodies to meet and cooperate internationally, together with qualified experts and relevant industry participants, to develop coordinated laws, treaties, standards, oversight and enforcement that allow AI progress to continue without safety and human control falling behind capability.
What we are asking for, specifically
- Establish or formally designate a credible national AI safety body where an adequate one is not already in place.
- Ensure that body can draw on technical, scientific, legal, security, civil-society and public-interest expertise.
- Have national AI safety bodies meet and cooperate with counterparts in other nations.
- Work toward internationally coordinated AI safety laws, treaties, standards, oversight and enforcement.
- Keep the public informed about progress.
- Slow relevant frontier development when capability is demonstrably moving faster than effective safety, oversight and control.
Existing institutions count
We are not asking for a duplicate bureaucracy in every country. If a nation already has a credible authority doing this work, that body counts, under whatever name it uses. A country is not marked as lacking capacity because its administrative structure looks different from somewhere else’s.
The public question we are trying to answer is a simple one:
Does this country have a credible mechanism responsible for advanced AI safety, and is it participating in international coordination?
What this platform will not do
It will not write law. It will not set capability thresholds, licensing rules or technical standards. It will not create financial penalties or binding obligations for any company. It will not host user-written or machine-generated legislation.
People create the mandate. Governments and qualified experts create the rules.
