Clear AI Definitions Needed for New Regulation

The global dialogue on artificial intelligence (AI) seeks international engagement or coordination but lacks substantial action.
Differences in political interests and national values across countries contribute to the lack of substantial international action.
Epistemic disagreement, meaning differing views on what AI is and its potential impact, is a key reason for the lack of global action.
There is no consensus on AI’s definition; some see it as mostly large language models, while others view it as encompassing various machine learning algorithms.
Divergences in national views on the speed and scale of AI’s transformation affect policy and hinder international coordination.
Countries are divided into groupings based on their perceptions of AI’s transformative potential and their perceived self-sufficiency in AI capabilities.
The differing views on AI’s progress and dependency on foreign capabilities lead to divergent national policies and prevent coordinated international efforts.
Currently, there’s a lack of international coordination in AI governance, resulting from incompatible epistemic views.
The stalemate in international action is due to these incompatible views rather than a lack of will.
The breakthrough in international coordination might come from concerns around AI misuse or new economic factors, but for now, significant global cooperation on AI remains challenging.
