From private messages between Western leaders to a public dispute within the United Nations, the race over artificial intelligence is shifting from developing the most advanced models to a more complex question: Who sets the rules that govern this technology, and where does the power of states end and the need for oversight that transcends borders begin?

Western leaders, as Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre sent a letter to his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney, hoping he would join an emerging plan to establish a new framework for regulating artificial intelligence, to which the latter replied: "Of course... we are with you."
Meanwhile, Carney was discussing the regulation of artificial intelligence with French President Emmanuel Macron in the French archipelago of Saint Pierre and Miquelon off the Canadian island of Newfoundland, as Macron's government called on the UN Security Council to focus on AI and security ahead of this week's UN General Assembly .
In a move to translate these moves into practical proposals, Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb asserting that artificial intelligence "must remain under human guidance, supervision and control," and proposing the creation of a global oversight system., these talks represent an effort led by a group of Western presidents and heads of government to establish global controls for artificial intelligence, in a move reminiscent of the nuclear arms reduction treaties that emerged during the early decades of the atomic age.
But analysts warn that any international standards-setting body will remain of limited influence unless it has the support of the US and Chinese governments.
