Mission

The Mission of the Coalition, listed below, were defined in the Aims included in its announcement on September 10h, 2024 by its six founding NGOs, convened by the Trustless Computing:

“Amidst an accelerating, reckless, winner-take-all race among states and their firms for ever more capable AGI and ASI forms of AI, there may still be time for humanity to properly come together to (A) ensure all AIs will be human-controllable and and largely controlled and shaped by humanity as a whole, (B) prevent catastrophic AI misuses and runway ASIs, and maximize the chances that, if ASI will emerge, it will result in a beneficial outcome for humanity, democratically imbued with the most widely-shared positive human values.

We are leading an early open coalition of NGOs and states to advance a much more timely, effective, expert and democratic treaty-making process for AI, based on the open intergovernmental constituent assembly model - akin to that which led to the US federal constitution. This new constituent assembly welcomes all states and citizens' representative entities, irrespective of their political orientation.

Over a time frame as short as realistically possible - yet with extreme care - the coalition aims to build a strong, expert-led, federal and democratic governance of AI as it was attempted in 1946 for nuclear technologies via the Baruch Plan, while avoiding its failure due to vetoes.”
