Western and Chinese scientists: AI safety a “global public good”, global cooperation urgently needed.
#IDAIS Statement (Bengio, Russel) calls for international governance

Calling for a conditional pause, although not with these words:
Frontier AI developers must demonstrate to domestic authorities that the systems they develop or deploy will not cross red lines such as those defined in the IDAIS-Beijing consensus statement.
To implement this, we need to build further scientific consensus on risks and red lines. Additionally, we should set early-warning thresholds: levels of model capabilities indicating that a model may cross or come close to crossing a red line. This approach builds on and harmonizes the existing patchwork of voluntary commitments such as responsible scaling policies. Models whose capabilities fall below early-warning thresholds require only limited testing and evaluation, while more rigorous assurance mechanisms are needed for advanced AI systems exceeding these early-warning thresholds.

Feels to me their recommendations as summurized by NYT are very far from what’s needed, at this stage
