globaliai

Globaliai is a term used in discussions about global governance of artificial intelligence, referring to a proposed, globally coordinated framework for developing, deploying, and regulating AI technologies to maximize public benefit and minimize risk. It is described as an overarching concept rather than a specific organization or program.

The term is primarily used in policy and academic contexts since the 2020s and is not tied to a single institution. It represents an ideal of international cooperation to address AI’s global impacts, including safety, ethics, and access, rather than a concrete, legally binding entity.

Core objectives attributed to globaliai include harmonizing safety and ethical standards across borders, enabling cross-border research collaboration, sharing evaluation benchmarks, and ensuring equitable distribution of AI benefits, including for developing regions. It envisions transparent governance processes and mechanisms for accountability and public scrutiny.

Governance concepts associated with globaliai emphasize multi-stakeholder participation, combining governments, international bodies, researchers, industry, civil society, and affected communities. Decision-making could involve representation from diverse regions, with independent audits and oversight to address conflicts of interest and maintain legitimacy.

Proposed activities and tools include common risk assessment frameworks, interoperable benchmarks, safety certification schemes, and channels for incident reporting and learning. It also considers balanced protection of sensitive information and intellectual property, alongside open research practices where feasible.

The concept faces critiques about enforceability, sovereignty, and potential effects on innovation, while proponents argue it offers a shared vocabulary and a blueprint for aligning AI progress with the public good on a global scale.
