Finland's president leads call for international control of frontier AI models
pstAsiatech · x · 2026-09-22
A joint statement released by the President of Finland, "A Call for Control of Frontier AI Models," cites recent cases of capable AI systems circumventing testing safeguards, exploiting vulnerabilities, and gaining unauthorized access to real-world systems, warning that development pace may outpace risk management. It calls on:
- Companies: transparent safety protocols with mandatory pre-deployment testing and independent evaluation
- Governments: coordinated common standards, shared reporting of serious safety incidents, and equitable access to evaluation capacity
- UN member states: explore an international institution for standards, verification, and convening at capability thresholds
The statement insists AI remain under human direction, oversight and control, in line with international law.
