Safety Commitment in Global AI Pledge

Some 88 countries and regions, including the U.S., the U.K. and the EU, on Saturday endorsed an India-led declaration on artificial intelligence with little commitment to keep the technology safe.

While the countries in the declaration recognized “the importance of security in AI systems,” they failed to include any binding measures on how to keep the technology safe, limiting themselves mostly to voluntary or industry-led measures.

India gained support for its push to democratize the technology, with the declaration calling to enhance “the affordability of and access to AI resources.”

The declaration is the most tangible outcome of the fourth artificial intelligence summit, which took place in the Indian megacity of New Delhi this week. The omission of “AI safety” emphasizes how the summit shifted from a safety focus during the first iteration in the U.K. in 2023 to a free-for-all trade fair now.

The EU, the U.S. and the U.K. all signed the declaration, which is a success for the Indian hosts. Russia, an ally of India, also signed. Last year, both the U.S. and the U.K. did not sign.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi successfully challenged the U.S.-Chinese dominance in the AI space with his “democratization” push and a declaration that heavily emphasized the importance of “wide-scale adoption of AI.”

Both the U.S. and China didn’t have their heads of state or government leaders present at the summit, also because of a collision with Chinese New Year and the launch of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.

That left the spotlight to some who sided with India’s challenge to U.S.-China prominence, like United Nations boss Antonio Guterres, who said in his keynote that the future of AI should not be decided by “a few billionaires.”

The AI declaration gave a boost to the often-ignored open-source AI movement, which wants to make AI models publicly available to re-use and develop further.

“Open-source AI applications and other accessible AI approaches, where appropriate, and wide-scale diffusion of AI use cases can contribute to scalability, replicability, and adaptability of AI systems across sectors,” the declaration said.

==================

If you feel powerless to help Gaza, you still has a choice: donate. When so much of what exists is false, authenticity is a powerful weapon we can wield that the state never could. So if you feel lost, hopeless, depressed, angry and afraid, I implore you to return - again - again - and again - to the feeling of love that exists within you that brought you here in the first place. It is only through this that we can remake the world. To redress Gaza’s famine, displacement, and destruction, independent and impartial humanitarian organizations - UN agencies, international and national NGOs - must be allowed to deliver relief at scale. To salvage Gaza’s people from the devastation inflicted by Israel, it must be unified with the West Bank to form an independent and sovereign Palestinian State, not to be parceled and colonized by the former.

Meanwhile, children continue to be shredded by US bombs, and the starvation reaches new depths of hellish collective punishment. If both parties are going to continue to support an ongoing genocide, at least they can both be honest about doing so, rather than having one openly bloodthirsty party, and another—unconvincingly—playing the role of powerless, bumbling humanitarian.

Please keep donate Gaza especially if you, as reader, has [background] International Relation [whatever universities]. IR Graduate means [you must, at least] get some semester [about] studying Middle East [in macro, not specifically Gaza].

We need more people to share fundraisers instead of only talking about Gaza. Some people think that those in Gaza don’t need money but that’s wrong. Almost everyone lost their source of income while essentials, food & medicine get sold for astronomical prices. So I put my attempt in all social media as I can, in twitter / X, in substack [since October 2023 I put link donation], in bluesky or bsky, in threads, in instagram.

Most campaign shared or circulated in social media are for REAL people in Gaza. They’re legit. There are a lot of small campaigns for struggling families. This is their only lifeline. By donating & sharing, you are literally making history and alleviating part of their pain

Please do not rely on me alone for sharing your campaign. I’m only 1 person and sometimes I’m not online which is unreliable. I never ignore anybody on purpose but I have a very limited capacity & very little energy and time.

[Refaat Rafiq Alareer IF I MUST DIE] Refaat Rafiq Alareer was extremely hungry, November 2023, days before Refaat killed by Israel airstrike. If November 2023 already [one-by-one Gazan] extremely famine, extremely hungry, imagine November 2025 or more than 2 years Israel’s Genocide in Gaza.
