The United States currently leads the world in AI, but we are witnessing a shift towards what I call 'foundation model diplomacy', where nations are redefining their AI strategies.

The future of AI and its impact on society will depend on our ability to coordinate internationally and create mechanisms for peace and stability among competing nations and corporations. We need global collaboration to successfully address the challenges posed by AI and climate change, as the same incentives that drive profit can hinder progress in reducing risks.

Containment of powerful technologies like AI requires a shift in our approach to governance, moving away from aggressive competition to a more collaborative and humble strategy.

AI's role in society is to reflect and enhance cultural values, making it essential for nations to engage with AI development actively.

Countries are seeking infrastructure independence to develop their own AI models, allowing them to shape their future without reliance on other nations.

The development of AI is intertwined with geopolitical dynamics, and while there are risks, collaboration on a scientific level is crucial as technologies become more powerful.

AI must be customized to reflect local culture and values, requiring nations to actively shape their digital intelligence rather than outsourcing it.

Complete centralization of AI technology is unlikely; instead, a balance of leadership and strong alliances with technologically capable allies is essential.

AI technologies must be tailored to local contexts to ensure they are effective and culturally relevant, rather than relying solely on universal solutions. Every nation must own its AI strategy to ensure it aligns with its cultural, economic, and security needs.
