The signatories also want governments to align their standards and share reports on serious incidents. They ask UN members to consider an international oversight body.
The statement asks governments to act. It does not create a regulator or place a new legal duty on AI labs.
National laws will decide who gets access to frontier AI systems before release. Testing rules will decide what reviewers can inspect and who has the power to stop a launch.
