- Abstract: International institutions may have an important role to play in ensuring
advanced AI systems benefit humanity. International collaborations can unlock
AI's ability to further sustainable development, and coordination of regulatory
efforts can reduce obstacles to innovation and the spread of benefits.
Conversely, the potential dangerous capabilities of powerful and
general-purpose AI systems create global externalities in their development and
deployment, and international efforts to further responsible AI practices could
help manage the risks they pose. This paper identifies a set of governance
functions that could be performed at an international level to address these
challenges, ranging from supporting access to frontier AI systems to setting
international safety standards. It groups these functions into four
institutional models that exhibit internal synergies and have precedents in
existing organizations: 1) a Commission on Frontier AI that facilitates expert
consensus on opportunities and risks from advanced AI, 2) an Advanced AI
Governance Organization that sets international standards to manage global
threats from advanced models, supports their implementation, and possibly
monitors compliance with a future governance regime, 3) a Frontier AI
Collaborative that promotes access to cutting-edge AI, and 4) an AI Safety
Project that brings together leading researchers and engineers to further AI
safety research. We explore the utility of these models and identify open
questions about their viability.

We will introduce and define a family of approaches to AI safety, which we will refer to as guaranteed safe (GS) AI.
The core feature of these approaches is that they aim to produce AI systems which are equipped with high-assurance quantitative safety guarantees.
We outline a number of approaches for creating each of these three core components, describe the main technical challenges, and suggest a number of potential solutions to them.

We describe risks that include large-scale social harms, malicious uses, and irreversible loss of human control over autonomous AI systems.
There is a lack of consensus about how exactly such risks arise, and how to manage them.
Present governance initiatives lack the mechanisms and institutions to prevent misuse and recklessness, and barely address autonomous systems.

A regulatory gap has permitted AI labs to conduct research, development, and deployment activities with minimal oversight.
frontier AI system evaluations have been proposed as a way of assessing risks from the development and deployment of frontier AI systems.
This paper proposes a solution in the form of an international consortium for AI risk evaluations, comprising both AI developers and third-party AI risk evaluators.

We analyze ten mechanisms for this purpose--spanning institutions, software, and hardware--and make recommendations aimed at implementing, exploring, or improving those mechanisms.
