About the project
"Produce a structured comparative analysis of how the six major multilateral frameworks treat the three variables most consequential for ethical AI outcomes: the normative basis for oversight obligations, the treatment of non-OECD nations in compute access governance, and the mechanisms for incorporating civil society and interfaith perspectives into binding commitments.
The output would be a policy brief designed specifically for GPAI delegates from underrepresented regions who currently lack an evidence base to argue for values-inclusive governance language during negotiations."
