Joint Statement: Examining Global Governance Frameworks in the Era of Recursive Artificial Intelligence

Washington, D.C. — In response to the rapid acceleration of sovereign and corporate artificial intelligence initiatives, ACE Global Bridges of ACE Health Foundation and the Diplomacy Center Foundation are announcing a joint initiative to examine the emerging global governance challenges of recursive AI.

Recent developments highlight a critical inflection point in international tech diplomacy. President Javier Milei’s initiative to establish Argentina as a special economic zone offering legal personhood to AI-operated corporations illustrates a growing trend toward diverse sovereign regulatory models. Concurrently, Anthropic’s disclosure that its Claude model now authors 80% of the company's production code provides empirical context regarding the transition toward recursively self-improving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

These parallel events underscore the complexities of navigating advanced technology through decentralized, national-level policies. As developers achieve new autonomous capabilities and nations explore varying regulatory approaches, the international community faces the complex challenge of identifying effective, cooperative frameworks. The Diplomacy Center Foundation, dedicated to expanding the role and understanding of diplomacy, and ACE Global Bridges, focused on fostering neutral cross-sector dialogue, recognize that diplomacy will be a key component in bringing states together and facilitating agreements on these unprecedented issues.

Jerome Clayton Glenn, Chair of the High-Level Expert Panel on AGI for the Council of Presidents of the UN General Assembly and distinguished member of the ACE Global Leaders of Excellence Network, ACE Health Foundation: "We need national licensing systems for both the development and use of Artificial General Intelligence-AGI, as well as a special session of the UN General Assembly specifically on AGI to help wake up the world to what is needed now to improve humanity’s prospects with AGI.”

Pooja Chandra Pama, Chair of ACE Global Bridges and ACE Health Foundation, and Board Member of the Diplomacy Center Foundation: "The emergence of isolated regulatory models presents an important opportunity for international dialogue. As countries create their own separate frameworks for AI, we see a pressing need to connect these perspectives. ACE Global Bridges and the Diplomacy Center Foundation are dedicated to providing a neutral, structural bridge to explore these strategies. True leadership in technology and geopolitics carries a profound responsibility to foster understanding. Navigating the era of self-improving AI requires shared exploration, ensuring that cross-sector innovation remains aligned with our deepest collective values."

Moving forward, ACE Global Bridges of ACE Health Foundation, and the Diplomacy Center Foundation will actively convene tech visionaries, business leaders, diplomats, and moral authorities to examine a variety of ways to address the AGI challenge. This joint effort will rigorously explore potential diplomatic solutions, including the possible role of the United Nations, the feasibility of national licensing frameworks, and other cooperative international approaches.
