Abstract:

As artificial intelligence (AI) advances, states increasingly recognise the need for international governance to address shared benefits and challenges. However, international cooperation is complex and costly, and not all AI issues require cooperation at the international level. The paper analyses nine AI policy areas using four factors (cross-border externalities, regulatory arbitrage, uneven governance capacity, interoperability) and identifies compute-provider oversight, content provenance, model evaluations, incident monitoring and risk management protocols as strong candidates for internationalisation.
