Thus, this can lead to inconsistencies in research and policy-making. A common language with standardized To address this issue, the Interdisciplinary Panel definitions is crucial for effective climate on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United Nations discussions. However, concerns exist (UN) maintain the online glossaries IPCC about LLMs misrepresenting climate Glossary (IPCC, 2019a,b, 2018), and UNTERM terms. We compared 300 official IPCC (UN, 2024a). Although LLMs have access to glossary definitions with those generated these repositories during training, they are not by GPT-4o-mini, Llama3.1 8B, and Mistral constrained to them during inference. Therefore, 7B, analyzing adherence, robustness, LLMs could further diversify and confuse these and readability using SBERT sentence embeddings.

Governments, industry, and other actors involved in governing AI technologies around the world agree that, while AI offers tremendous promise to benefit the world, appropriate guardrails are required to mitigate risks. Global institutions, including the OECD, the G7, the G20, UNESCO, and the Council of Europe, have already started developing frameworks for ethical and responsible AI governance. While these are important initial steps, they alone fall short of addressing the need for institutionalised international processes to identify and assess potentially harmful AI capabilities. Contributing to the relevant conversation on how to address this gap, this chapter reflects on what functions an international AI safety institute could perform. Based on the analysis of both existing international governance models addressing safety considerations in adjacent policy areas and the newly established national AI safety institutes in the UK and US, the chapter identifies a list of concrete functions that could be performed at the international level. While creating a new international body is not the only way forward, understanding the structure of these bodies from a modular perspective can help us to identify the tools at our disposal. These, we suggest, can be categorised under three functional domains: a) technical research and cooperation, b) safeguards and evaluations, c) policymaking and governance support.

Jessica Melugin, Competitive Enterprise Institute Director of Center for Technology and Innovation, discusses Twitter accusing Meta of stealing trade secrets and a New York City law requiring businesses to audit A.I. hiring tools. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently re-upped his calls for a global body, akin to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), to advise member nations on regulating artificial intelligence (AI). Schmidt first made his case for an "International Panel on AI Safety" – an "IPCC for AI," if you will – in an October 2023 op-ed in the Financial Times. He writes of the AI panel's potential to be an, "an independent, expert-led body empowered to objectively inform governments about the current state of AI capabilities and make evidence-based predictions." He claims that AI policy makers, "are looking for impartial, technically reliable and timely assessments about its speed of progress and impact."

The world must treat the risks from artificial intelligence as seriously as the climate crisis and cannot afford to delay its response, one of the technology's leading figures has warned. Speaking as the UK government prepares to host a summit on AI safety, Demis Hassabis said oversight of the industry could start with a body similar to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Hassabis, the British chief executive of Google's AI unit, said the world must act immediately in tackling the technology's dangers, which included aiding the creation of bioweapons and the existential threat posed by super-intelligent systems. "We must take the risks of AI as seriously as other major global challenges, like climate change," he said. "It took the international community too long to coordinate an effective global response to this, and we're living with the consequences of that now. We can't afford the same delay with AI." Growing alarm about the threats posed by uncontrolled innovation in artificial intelligence has prompted global leaders to hold the first ever safety summit.

THE ECONOMIST'S Open Future essay competition winner was announced in September, beating nearly 2,400 entries from over 110 countries. But how might artificial intelligence tackle the question? Specifically, we fed the essay question and the 58-word description through a natural-language processing algorithm called GPT-2, released publicly in February by OpenAI, a group working on AI research and ethics, based in San Francisco. The result was six roughly 400-word texts. We took the larger parts of three of them and placed them one after another with no other editing.

We are destroying nature at an unprecedented rate, threatening the survival of a million species – and our own future, too. But it's not too late to save them and us, says a major new report. Our destruction of biodiversity and ecosystem services has reached levels that threaten our well-being at least as much as human-induced climate change." With these words chair Robert Watson launched a meeting in Paris to agree the final text of a major UN report on the state of nature around the world – the biggest and most thorough assessment to date, put together by 150 scientists from 50 countries. The report, released today, is mostly grim reading.
