Global AI Consensus Challenges

Only about 60 countries, including the United States, endorsed a non-binding blueprint for responsible AI in military applications during a recent summit in South Korea. Notably, China did not sign on, highlighting the challenges in achieving global consensus on AI safety regulations. The lack of agreement among nations, particularly with a major power like China opting out, raises concerns about uniform compliance and coordination in AI governance. This situation emphasizes that a significant portion of the global community remains hesitant or unwilling to adopt standardized measures for the safe use of AI.
