An international Framework Convention on Global AI Challenges should codify the most important shared objectives and principles for international AI cooperation, namely, the distribution of global benefits from AI, the mitigation of global risks and the process for legitimate decision making on key choices affecting the future of humanity. [...] Government action, and international cooperation in particular, may be required to address three likely shortcomings: the underutilization of AI systems due to lack of access; the underprovision of global public goods from AI; and unequal distribution of AI benefits. [...] • The Council of Europe’s Framework Convention on AI and Human Rights will be open to all countries to join and potentially applies to the development of frontier AI models, though each country can decide on its application to the private sector (Council of Europe 2024). [...] More specifically, and building on recent work, the principles could: • recognize the necessity of international coordination and cooperation in addressing the global opportunities and challenges presented by advanced AI; • affirm the need for inclusive decision making to ensure that global benefits and global risks accrue and are borne equitably across humanity; • assert that the extent of intern. [...] Contents of the Protocol on AI Safety Objective and Principles The overarching objective of this Protocol is to enable governments and other relevant parties to collaborate effectively to prevent and mitigate severe AI risks to global public safety.
