We Unite or We Fight: The Long-Term Case for International AI Governance
danfaggella · x · 2026-09-14
Dan Faggella revisits his 2019 essay arguing that some international coordination on AI beats none, and that getting the US and China on the same page makes obvious sense. The piece contends that over 15–40 years, AI power struggles will move beyond economic and military competition to deciding the trajectory of intelligence itself—powerful AGI or cognitively enhanced humans—and that Microsoft's $1B bet on OpenAI marked the start of a superintelligence race that risks becoming an arms race unless deliberately avoided.
