AI risk demands coordinated regulation, equitable data governance, and inclusive global standards to curb power concentration

Robust scientific assessment of AI risk requires transparent benchmarking, reproducible safety testing, and interdisciplinary research linking computer science with social sciences. Current proprietary model‑training pipelines limit external validation, undermining scientific accountability. Open‑source evaluation suites and standardized risk metrics can bridge this gap.
The AI risk narrative must shift from a US‑centric security lens to a systemic analysis that foregrounds power concentration, digital colonialism, and historical precedents of technology regulation.
By integrating Indigenous data sovereignty, cross‑cultural governance models, and rigorous scientific benchmarking, the global community can design a flexible treaty that balances safety with equity. Institutionalizing a multi‑stakeholder oversight body and investing in capacity building for marginalized regions will redistribute AI power, while scenario‑based future modelling ensures policies remain adaptive. Together, these pathways address the structural roots of AI threats and create a resilient, inclusive governance architecture.
