A Framework for Global Democratic Governance of Advanced Artificial Intelligence: A Proposal for a Global AI Regulatory Committee

This white paper proposes a Global AI Regulatory Committee for internationally consequential artificial intelligence. The framework distributes voting authority among qualifying AI companies, independently elected citizens, national governments, sufficiently capable AI representatives, and the United Nations. It establishes mandatory pre-release and development review for covered AI capabilities, domestic enforcement requirements for participating nations, individual accountability for intentional violations, coordinated international sanctions, and simplicity as a foundational governance principle. The model is designed to prevent any corporation, government, or constituency from exercising unilateral control over AI systems capable of producing global consequences.
