International Network
Next Steps and Recommendations
By Gregory C. Allen and Georgia Adamson
Overview
On November 21 and 22, 2024, technical articial intelligence (AI) experts from nine countries and the
European Union will meet for the rst time in San Francisco. The agenda: starting the next phase of
international cooperation on AI safety science through a network of AI safety institutes (AISIs). The
United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Canada, France,
Kenya, and Australia make up the initial members of the network, which was rst launched by U.S.
secretary of commerce Gina Raimondo at the May 2024 AI Seoul Summit. At the time of the launch, Italy
and Germany were also potential members of the network, as signatories to the Seoul Statement of
Intent toward International Cooperation on AI Safety Science, or Seoul Statement, the network’s
founding document. However, a September announcement by Raimondo and U.S. secretary of state
Antony Blinken conrmed that Kenya would instead be the nal member of the AISI International
Network at this stage.
