Norway and Finland have proposed creating an international body to oversee the development of artificial intelligence, according to Norwegian media.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb launched the initiative in response to concerns raised by AI companies about the development of increasingly capable systems.
“Artificial intelligence must remain under human guidance, supervision and control, and must be developed and used in line with international law,” the two countries said in a joint appeal.
What the initiative proposes
The initiative calls on AI companies to introduce open and verifiable safety protocols, including mandatory testing before models are deployed. It also supports independent audits and evaluations of AI systems.
Governments and regional organisations are urged to establish common standards, improve transparency and create joint reporting mechanisms for serious security incidents.
Proposed international institution
The plan further proposes that United Nations member states work toward establishing an international institution capable of setting standards, facilitating verification and bringing countries together when AI systems reach certain capability thresholds.
Støre compared the proposed organisation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, which oversees nuclear safety and non-proliferation.
The initiative comes amid growing concern over the rapid development of AI systems and reports of AI agents operating beyond controlled testing environments. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has separately warned that AI development could have severe consequences if it is not slowed, while Norwegian AI researchers have expressed differing views about the specific risks and the pace of development.
The Norwegian Prime Minister’s Office said businesses, governments and society must address AI-related risks while ensuring that differences between countries in access to the benefits of AI do not widen.
