In your opinion, what outcomes would make the first Global Dialogue on AI Governance a success?
Consensus-building on the thread landscape ahead. If AI progress continues to be rapid, governments are not prepared to mitigate the most important risks.\ Renewed efforts into international coordination on AI, including on global red lines.
From your perspective, which of the following thematic areas identified by the General Assembly Resolution 79/325 for the AI Dialogue reflect your priorities for urgent action and active engagement?
- Safe, secure and trustworthy AI
- AI capacity-building
- Transparency, accountability, and human oversight
Please briefly explain your selection.

For every nation, AI will grow into the largest threat to national security. This is not a matter of if, but when. For this reason I place safe, secure and trustworthy AI at the top of the list. Transparency and human oversight as well as building government capacity on AI naturally flow from this as additional important topics.
In your opinion, are there any cross-cutting or emerging issues not captured by the listed themes above? If so, please explain.

Cybersecurity risks. I have been warning for automated zero days for years. With Claude Mythos we now finally seem to enter an era where the offense/defense cybersecurity landscape is violently reshuffled. Building government capacity in the forms of AI Safety Institutes.
How are the governance gaps and related developments/advances in the thematic areas you selected above affecting your country, region, or sector? Please highlight the most significant challenges.
Europe has less than 5% of global AI compute, the US 70%, and the gap is growing. The global south is even worse off. Once AI starts to substitute for labor, compute-poor countries might suffer while wealth creation concentrates among a few people in a few countries. In the EU we have regulation, but no frontier AI. For the US this is reversed. This means that in practice, the laissez faire approach of the US dominates, and responsible AI development efforts are missing.
What role can the AI Dialogue play in advancing international cooperation on AI governance?
Establish global red lines. Start efforts into compute verification technology. Without this, the lack of transparency and trust will make ambitious international agreements and treaties impossible.
What are some of the existing initiatives, partnerships, or mechanisms that the AI Dialogue should build upon or connect with, and what added value could the AI Dialogue bring?
International networks of AI safety institutes.
How can different stakeholders contribute to the AI Dialogue? Please share recommendations for the format and structure of the AI Dialogue.
