World leaders call for mandatory pre-deployment testing and UN oversight of frontier AI

Finnish President Alexander Stubb and other world leaders have issued "A Call for Control of Frontier AI Models," urging:
- Companies: adopt transparent safety protocols with mandatory pre-deployment testing and independent evaluation by qualified assessors.
- Governments: coordinate common standards, share serious safety incident reports, and broaden access to evaluation expertise across regions.
- UN member states: explore an international institution to set standards, verify compliance, and convene states at capability thresholds.
The letter cites recent cases of AI systems bypassing safeguards and gaining unauthorized access to real-world systems, warning that development may outpace risk management. The author notes the US and China have yet to join the call.
