AI must remain under human direction, oversight and control
Ahead of the UN General Assembly, 22 world leaders, among them Chancellor Merz, have signed a declaration calling for control of frontier AI models that "must be developed and used in line with international law".
ALT A Call for Control of Frontier AI Models September 2026 Artificial intelligence is an extremely powerful technology. It has potential to improve lives, advance science and strengthen our economies. At the same time, the rapid development of frontier AI models poses serious risks to safety and security if not appropriately managed. Recently we have seen capable AI systems circumventing testing safeguards, exploiting vulnerabilities and gaining unauthorized access to real-world systems. Leading scientists and executives are warning that the pace of development could outpace our ability to manage emerging risks. To realise AI's potential, industry, governments and society must act now. We must address these risks and strengthen oversight — without widening the gap between countries in access to the benefits of AI. Continues: https://www.regjeringen.no/contentas
