Governments have met repeatedly since 2023 to coordinate on advanced AI, producing declarations, a network of national safety institutes and, in this demonstration scenario, a 2026 agreement to share test results.
The first intergovernmental summit on frontier AI was held in the United Kingdom in November 2023. Follow-up meetings in Seoul and Paris broadened participation. In parallel the European Union's AI Act entered into force in 2024 and several countries created AI safety institutes. The central tension is between shared testing standards and national competition for the industry.
