Why AI Safety Demands U.S.-China Cooperation More Than Any Other Issue


Why AI Safety Demands U.S.-China Cooperation More Than Any Other Issue

In the 21st century, few geopolitical issues have matched the urgency, complexity, and existential weight of artificial intelligence safety. Not climate change. Not global trade. Not even nuclear weapons. AI safety is the one domain that doesn’t just invite—but requires—cooperation between global powers like the United States and China. Without it, the future risks spiraling into dystopia not through malice, but through negligence, speed, and opacity.

The Black Box Problem

Today’s frontier AI models produce outputs that often astonish even their creators. Ask an advanced model to write code, analyze a medical image, or strategize in a virtual economy, and it delivers — often brilliantly. But when you ask how it arrived at its result, the answer is deeply unsettling: we don’t know. These systems operate as statistical black boxes, driven by patterns across trillions of data points, without transparent reasoning or causal logic. Interpretability research is ongoing but nascent.

In fields like aviation or medicine, systems are explainable by design. In AI, we’re navigating by starlight without understanding the gravitational pulls around us. The room for unintended consequences is vast.

Precedents: Fragile Networks and Real Harms

The pre-AI internet already showed how algorithmic systems could amplify harm. Misinformation, deep fakes, political manipulation, market instability—these aren’t science fiction. They’re daily reality. These were created by dumb or semi-intelligent systems optimized for engagement, not truth or safety. Now imagine those same feedback loops accelerated by AI that can not only communicate, but strategize, deceive, and self-improve within bounded domains.

The Sentience Illusion and Human Malice

There is no need for AI to “wake up” or become self-aware to be dangerous. The first domino can be pushed by an ill-intentioned human — a rogue state actor, a terrorist network, or even a lone hacker. But once it begins, a cascade of AI systems reacting, adapting, and optimizing in unforeseen ways could give the illusion of sentience. Not because the machine chose to become evil, but because the consequences of optimization under poorly defined goals can mimic it. This is not science fiction. This is “alignment risk.”

Why U.S.–China Collaboration Is Unique and Urgent

Climate change affects all of us—but it unfolds over decades. Trade wars have sharp effects—but they are reversible. Nuclear deterrence is severe—but relatively stable due to a Cold War-era playbook of checks, doctrines, and treaties.

AI, however, is a moving target—faster, decentralized, and experimental. Open-source models can be downloaded and fine-tuned by anyone. A breakthrough in alignment by one nation, kept secret for strategic reasons, could be counterproductive. A race dynamic incentivizes deployment before safety. U.S.-China collaboration is necessary not because they trust each other, but because the alternative is mutual ruin.

This doesn’t require perfect harmony or full transparency. It requires frameworks—shared threat assessments, redlines, secure sandbox environments, joint safety research, and eventually a Geneva Convention for AI.

Proactive Safety: Seatbelts Before Crashes

With technologies like aviation or automobiles, regulations were reactive. Thousands had to die before seat belts, airbags, and crash tests became law. But AI does not offer the same luxury. A single failure—be it in an autonomous military system, global financial AI, or a biotechnological design AI—could have irreversible consequences.

AI safety is the rare domain where laws, norms, and safeguards must come before the catastrophe. We must not wait for the “Chernobyl” of AI to unite the world around protocols. By then, it will be too late.

What Cooperation Looks Like

  1. Joint AI Safety Research Labs – Shared facilities with bilateral staffing, tasked with building interpretable, aligned AI.

  2. AI Incident Response Frameworks – Analogous to pandemic response plans, with shared early warning signals and containment protocols.

  3. Compute and Capability Threshold Treaties – Agreements to restrict or slow down the development of models beyond certain compute limits unless alignment guarantees are met.

  4. Red Lines for Weaponized AI – Explicit mutual agreements not to deploy AI in nuclear decision-making, autonomous drones, or cyberwarfare escalation pathways.

  5. AI Safety Summits with Global South Inclusion – Because the impact is global, the governance must be multilateral and inclusive.

The Cost of Not Acting Together

Without U.S.–China coordination on AI safety, the timeline for catastrophic misuse or failure shortens dramatically. The AI race becomes an AI arms race. Nations push capabilities without aligning values, safeguards, or ethics. Misuse will not come decades from now. It may come in years — even months — as generative models become more agentic, autonomous, and integrated into critical systems.

Conclusion: The Clock Is Ticking

AI is not just another technological advancement. It is a species-altering event. It pits humanity not against sentient machines, but against our own inability to manage rapid complexity and power. Cooperation is not utopian. It is the bare minimum required for survival.

If we get AI safety right, it could herald a golden age of abundance, health, and discovery. If we get it wrong, it could be the last major invention we make.

The choice—and the challenge—is ours. But only if we face it together.


AI सुरक्षा ऐसा मुद्दा है जो अमेरिका और चीन को अभूतपूर्व सहयोग के लिए मजबूर करता है

21वीं सदी में कुछ ही भू-राजनीतिक मुद्दे ऐसे हैं जो कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता (AI) सुरक्षा जैसी तात्कालिकता, जटिलता और अस्तित्वगत गंभीरता को दर्शाते हैं। न जलवायु परिवर्तन, न वैश्विक व्यापार, और यहाँ तक कि नाभिकीय हथियार भी नहीं। AI सुरक्षा वह एक क्षेत्र है जो केवल आमंत्रित नहीं करता, बल्कि आवश्यक बनाता है कि अमेरिका और चीन जैसे वैश्विक शक्तिशाली देश सहयोग करें। अगर ऐसा नहीं हुआ, तो भविष्य केवल दुष्ट इरादों के कारण नहीं बल्कि लापरवाही, रफ्तार और अस्पष्टता के कारण एक सर्वनाश की ओर बढ़ सकता है।

ब्लैक बॉक्स समस्या

आज के उन्नत AI मॉडल ऐसे परिणाम उत्पन्न करते हैं जो कभी-कभी उनके निर्माताओं को भी चौंका देते हैं। इनसे कोड लिखवाइए, किसी मेडिकल छवि का विश्लेषण करवाइए, या वर्चुअल अर्थव्यवस्था में रणनीति बनवाइए — और ये उत्कृष्ट प्रदर्शन करते हैं। लेकिन जब आप पूछते हैं कैसे यह परिणाम निकाला गया, तो उत्तर चिंताजनक होता है: हमें नहीं पता। ये सिस्टम अरबों डेटा बिंदुओं के पैटर्न से संचालित होते हैं, बिना स्पष्ट तर्क या कारण के।

जहाँ विमानन और चिकित्सा जैसे क्षेत्रों में सिस्टम स्पष्टीकरण योग्य होते हैं, वहीं AI में हम सितारों के सहारे दिशा तय कर रहे हैं — बिना यह जाने कि कौन-से गुरुत्वाकर्षण बल हमें खींच रहे हैं।

पूर्व-AI युग के नुकसान: चेतावनी संकेत

AI के आगमन से पहले ही इंटरनेट और एल्गोरिदम ने नुकसान दिखा दिया था — गलत सूचना, डीपफेक्स, राजनीतिक हेरफेर, वित्तीय अस्थिरता। और ये सभी ऐसे सिस्टमों द्वारा उत्पन्न हुए थे जो मात्र सगाई (engagement) के लिए डिज़ाइन किए गए थे, न कि सच्चाई या सुरक्षा के लिए। अब सोचिए, जब वे ही फीडबैक लूप ऐसे AI द्वारा संचालित होंगे जो न केवल संवाद कर सकते हैं, बल्कि रणनीति बना सकते हैं, छल कर सकते हैं और खुद को बेहतर बना सकते हैं।

चेतनता का भ्रम और मानव दुर्भावना

AI के खतरनाक होने के लिए उसका चेतन होना आवश्यक नहीं है। पहला कदम कोई बुरा इरादा रखने वाला इंसान ही उठा सकता है — कोई राज्य, आतंकवादी समूह या अकेला हैकर। लेकिन उसके बाद जो कुछ होगा वह एक cascade होगा: कई AI सिस्टम अपने-अपने हिसाब से प्रतिक्रिया देंगे, अनुकूलन करेंगे, और शायद रणनीति भी बनाएंगे। इससे यह भ्रम उत्पन्न हो सकता है कि मशीनें अब 'सजग' हो गई हैं। जबकि वास्तव में यह मात्र उद्देश्य-अलाइन्मेंट की विफलता का परिणाम होगा।

अमेरिका–चीन सहयोग की विशिष्टता और आवश्यकता

जलवायु परिवर्तन हम सभी को प्रभावित करता है — लेकिन यह दशकों में घटता है। व्यापार युद्ध तीव्र होते हैं — लेकिन उन्हें पलटा जा सकता है। परमाणु निवारण गंभीर है — लेकिन स्थिर और पुराने सिद्धांतों पर आधारित है।

AI के साथ समस्या यह है कि यह एक तेजी से बदलता हुआ लक्ष्य है। यह विकेन्द्रीकृत है, प्रयोगात्मक है, और वैश्विक स्तर पर पहुंच वाला है। कोई भी अत्यधिक शक्तिशाली AI मॉडल डाउनलोड कर सकता है, उसे पुनः प्रशिक्षित कर सकता है। यदि एक देश सुरक्षा में बड़ी सफलता प्राप्त करता है और उसे रणनीतिक कारणों से छिपा लेता है, तो वह मानवता के लिए हानिकारक हो सकता है।

AI में प्रतिस्पर्धा केवल तकनीकी दौड़ नहीं, बल्कि अस्तित्व की दौड़ बन सकती है। इस दौड़ को धीमा करने के लिए अमेरिका और चीन का सहयोग अनिवार्य है — चाहे विश्वास हो या न हो।

सक्रिय सुरक्षा: दुर्घटना से पहले सीट बेल्ट

विमान या कारों जैसे तकनीकों में सुरक्षा उपाय तब आए जब हजारों जानें चली गईं। लेकिन AI में वो अवसर नहीं होगा। एक बड़ी गलती — चाहे वह सैन्य, वित्तीय या जैव प्रौद्योगिकी से जुड़ा हो — अपूरणीय हो सकती है।

AI सुरक्षा वह दुर्लभ क्षेत्र है जहाँ नियम, मानदंड और सुरक्षाएं दुर्घटनाओं से पहले आनी चाहिएं। अगर हम इंतज़ार करते हैं, तो बहुत देर हो जाएगी।

सहयोग कैसा दिख सकता है:

  1. संयुक्त AI सुरक्षा अनुसंधान केंद्र – द्विपक्षीय वैज्ञानिकों के साथ साझा प्रयोगशालाएं जो व्याख्यात्मक और सुरक्षित AI बनाएं।

  2. AI आपातकालीन प्रतिक्रिया ढांचा – वैश्विक महामारी प्रतिक्रिया की तरह, जल्दी चेतावनी और नियंत्रण तंत्र।

  3. गणनाशक्ति (compute) सीमा समझौते – शक्तिशाली मॉडलों के निर्माण पर तब तक रोक जब तक उनकी सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित न हो।

  4. हथियारबंद AI के लिए रेड लाइनें – सहमति कि कोई भी देश AI को परमाणु निर्णय, ड्रोन हत्या या साइबर युद्ध में न प्रयोग करे।

  5. AI सुरक्षा शिखर सम्मेलन जिसमें ग्लोबल साउथ भी शामिल हो – क्योंकि प्रभाव वैश्विक है, तो शासन भी वैश्विक और समावेशी होना चाहिए।

यदि सहयोग नहीं हुआ, तो...

अगर अमेरिका और चीन AI सुरक्षा में समन्वय नहीं करते, तो तबाही की घड़ी और करीब आती जाएगी। यह दौड़ एक हथियारों की दौड़ में बदल जाएगी। देश क्षमताएं बढ़ाएंगे, लेकिन सुरक्षा के बिना। इस विनाश के लिए हमें दशकों नहीं, शायद केवल कुछ साल या महीने मिलें।

निष्कर्ष: घड़ी चल रही है

AI केवल एक और तकनीकी प्रगति नहीं है। यह मानव सभ्यता के लिए एक मोड़ है। यह मानवता को मशीनों के विरुद्ध नहीं बल्कि स्वयं की अव्यवस्था के विरुद्ध खड़ा करता है। सहयोग कोई आदर्शवादी सोच नहीं — यह अस्तित्व की न्यूनतम आवश्यकता है।

अगर हम AI सुरक्षा सही तरीके से अपनाते हैं, तो यह समृद्धि, स्वास्थ्य और खोजों का स्वर्ण युग ला सकता है। अगर हम असफल होते हैं, तो यह शायद हमारी आखिरी बड़ी खोज होगी।

अब निर्णय — और चुनौती — हमारे सामने है। लेकिन केवल तभी जब हम इसे साथ मिलकर सामना करें।

Multi-Disciplinary Approaches Will Win the Future

Multi-Disciplinary Approaches Will Win the Future

In an age of exponential technologies, it’s tempting to believe that raw computational power or the latest algorithm will define the future. But the truth is more nuanced—and more human. The most transformative breakthroughs won't come from any single discipline. They will emerge from the rich, often messy, intersection of many. Multi-disciplinary approaches are no longer optional; they are essential.

Beyond Technology Intersections

When people speak of AI, biotech, blockchain, or quantum computing, they often focus on how these technologies intersect with one another. Yes, AI can enhance biotech research, blockchain can secure health data, and quantum computing might unlock simulations never thought possible. But that’s only the surface.

True innovation arises not just from the convergence of technologies, but from the integration of fields of thought—art, ethics, geography, sociology, theology, and design. As Steve Jobs famously said, “It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough. It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our hearts sing.” His insight wasn’t poetic fluff—it was a playbook.

Rwanda and the Geography of Innovation

Consider the story of drone delivery companies that chose to launch in Rwanda. From a purely technological lens, Rwanda might seem like a poor testbed: its infrastructure is underdeveloped, logistics are a challenge, and it lacks Silicon Valley-style VC density.

But therein lies the advantage.

Rwanda’s sparse infrastructure made it the perfect canvas for something new—where drones could leapfrog roads entirely and save lives by delivering medical supplies to rural hospitals. It was an example of what happens when technology meets geography, when innovation respects place and purpose, not just hardware.

Spirituality and Corporate Culture

Technology is often seen as cold and rational, but the cultures that build it are deeply human. Great companies are not engineered through metrics alone. They are nurtured through values, meaning, and purpose.

You can’t build a great company without building a great culture. And you can’t build a great culture without a moral compass. That compass, whether rooted in faith, ethics, or a broader spiritual understanding of our place in the universe, guides how companies treat people, make decisions, and engage with society.

This is particularly relevant in AI, where the stakes are not just about profit or productivity, but about humanity itself.

AI Safety Demands Enlightened Collaboration

Many top tech entrepreneurs—Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis—have warned that artificial general intelligence (AGI) could pose existential risks. This isn't sci-fi paranoia; it's a serious call to align technological development with humanity’s deepest values and interests.

But this is where the challenge escalates: AI development is now global, with major players in the U.S., China, Europe, and beyond. If these powers cannot collaborate on AI safety, it may not matter how good any one system is. Safety is not a local patch—it’s a global operating principle.

Trade between great powers is already strained. But AI safety? That demands a level of trust, transparency, and shared purpose that transcends nationalism. It calls for enlightened geopolitical cooperation, a spiritual diplomacy of sorts, driven not just by treaties but by a common vision of what it means to be human in a world where machines can think.

The New Playbook for Impact

We are not just living through a tech revolution. We are living through a renaissance of integration. The winners of this era will be those who:

  • Combine data science with social science

  • Infuse art and storytelling into engineering

  • Bring ethics into product design

  • Merge local context with global technologies

  • Ground innovation in spiritual and moral clarity

This is how we achieve not just rapid change, but meaningful, inclusive, and enduring progress.

Toward a Human-Centered Future

The exponential era demands cross-disciplinary thinking not as a luxury but as a survival strategy. In the race to build the future, the finish line is not a product demo or a quarterly earnings report. It is the well-being of humanity—measured not only by GDP or unicorn valuations, but by dignity, justice, joy, and purpose.

May the architects of tomorrow be bridge-builders across disciplines. May they draw from all corners of human wisdom. And may their work serve not just the powerful, but the whole of humanity—at scale and at speed.

Let’s not just think different. Let’s think together.

बहु-आयामी दृष्टिकोण ही भविष्य की जीत सुनिश्चित करेंगे

हम उस युग में जी रहे हैं जहाँ तकनीक बेहद तेज़ी से आगे बढ़ रही है — एक ऐसा युग जिसे "एक्सपोनेन्शियल टेक्नोलॉजीज़" का युग कहा जा सकता है। लेकिन यदि हम सोचें कि केवल एल्गोरिद्म, मशीन लर्निंग या हार्डवेयर ही भविष्य को परिभाषित करेंगे, तो यह अधूरी समझ होगी। असली क्रांति वहाँ होती है जहाँ विभिन्न क्षेत्रों के विचार और दृष्टिकोण एक-दूसरे से टकराते हैं। बहु-आयामी (multi-disciplinary) दृष्टिकोण अब कोई विकल्प नहीं, बल्कि आवश्यकता बन गए हैं।

तकनीकी संगम से आगे सोचें

जब लोग एआई, बायोटेक, ब्लॉकचेन या क्वांटम कंप्यूटिंग की बात करते हैं, तो अधिकतर ध्यान इस पर होता है कि ये तकनीकें एक-दूसरे के साथ कैसे मिलकर काम कर सकती हैं। लेकिन असली नवाचार वहाँ होता है जहाँ तकनीक अन्य विचार क्षेत्रों से मिलती है — कला, नैतिकता, भूगोल, समाजशास्त्र, धर्म और डिज़ाइन।

स्टीव जॉब्स ने एक बार कहा था: “टेक्नोलॉजी अकेले काफी नहीं है। यह तब जादू करती है जब यह लिबरल आर्ट्स और मानवता के साथ मिलती है।” यह कोई भावनात्मक बात नहीं थी — यह उनका विज़न और रणनीति थी।

रवांडा और नवाचार का भूगोल

क्या आपने सुना है कि कुछ अग्रणी ड्रोन कंपनियाँ अपने प्रोजेक्ट्स के लिए रवांडा गईं? यह एक ऐसा देश है जहाँ बुनियादी ढांचा कमजोर है, लेकिन इसी कमी ने एक अवसर पैदा किया। वहाँ ड्रोन को सड़क नेटवर्क की आवश्यकता नहीं थी। वे पहाड़ों के ऊपर से उड़कर ग्रामीण इलाकों में दवाइयाँ पहुँचा सके — कुछ ऐसा जो कैलिफ़ोर्निया में करना मुमकिन नहीं था।

यह तब होता है जब तकनीक भूगोल से मिलती है, जब नवाचार स्थान और उद्देश्य के प्रति संवेदनशील होता है।

अध्यात्म और कॉर्पोरेट संस्कृति

तकनीक को अक्सर ठंडी, भावहीन चीज़ के रूप में देखा जाता है, लेकिन उसे बनाने वाले लोग पूरी तरह से इंसान होते हैं। एक महान कंपनी केवल KPI और डेटा से नहीं बनती — वह एक उद्देश्य और संस्कृति से बनती है।

और वह संस्कृति तब तक नहीं बनती जब तक वह किसी गहरे नैतिक या आध्यात्मिक आधार पर न टिकी हो। चाहे वह विश्वास हो, या एक सार्वभौमिक नैतिकता की समझ — एक नैतिक दिशा-सूचक (moral compass) ज़रूरी है।

यह बात विशेष रूप से AI सुरक्षा के लिए सत्य है — जहाँ केवल तकनीकी त्रुटि नहीं, बल्कि मानव अस्तित्व को ख़तरा हो सकता है।

AI सुरक्षा के लिए वैश्विक सहयोग ज़रूरी

आज दुनिया के कई अग्रणी तकनीकी उद्यमी जैसे एलन मस्क, सैम ऑल्टमैन, डेमिस हासबिस यह चेतावनी दे चुके हैं कि आर्टिफिशियल जनरल इंटेलिजेंस (AGI) मानवता के लिए एक अस्तित्वगत संकट बन सकती है। यह कोई विज्ञान कथा नहीं — यह एक वास्तविक चुनौती है जो हम सभी के नैतिक और सामाजिक मूल्यों से जुड़ी है।

लेकिन AI सुरक्षा केवल तकनीकी समस्या नहीं है — यह एक वैश्विक राजनीतिक और कूटनीतिक समस्या भी है। अमेरिका और चीन के बीच पहले से ही व्यापार तनाव है। यदि वे AI सुरक्षा पर सहयोग नहीं करते, तो मानवता के लिए परिणाम भयावह हो सकते हैं।

AI सुरक्षा किसी एक देश की नहीं, पूरे विश्व की जिम्मेदारी है। और यह जिम्मेदारी तब ही निभाई जा सकती है जब प्रमुख शक्तियाँ अपने मतभेदों से ऊपर उठें और मानव कल्याण के लिए एक साझा दृष्टिकोण अपनाएँ।

नए युग के लिए नई सोच

हम केवल तकनीकी क्रांति में नहीं जी रहे — हम एक नए पुनर्जागरण (renaissance) के दौर में हैं, जहाँ:

  • डेटा साइंस समाजशास्त्र से मिलती है

  • इंजीनियरिंग में कहानी और कला की भूमिका होती है

  • उत्पाद डिज़ाइन में नैतिकता जुड़ती है

  • स्थानीय संदर्भ में वैश्विक तकनीकें समाहित होती हैं

  • नवाचार एक आध्यात्मिक आधार पर खड़ा होता है

यही रास्ता है तेज़, समावेशी और सार्थक प्रगति का।

मानव-केंद्रित भविष्य की ओर

एक्सपोनेन्शियल युग की माँग है कि हम केवल विशेषज्ञ न बनें — बल्कि सेतु-निर्माता बनें। ऐसे लोग जो क्षेत्रों के बीच पुल बना सकें। जो तकनीक को मानवता से जोड़ सकें।

भविष्य में जीत उसी की होगी जो सोच को सीमाओं में नहीं बाँधता, बल्कि मिलाकर चलाता है। आइए हम सब मिलकर उस भविष्य की रचना करें — जो सिर्फ स्मार्ट नहीं, बल्कि करुणामय, न्यायपूर्ण और उद्देश्यपूर्ण हो।

आइए हम अलग नहीं, साथ सोचें।

Physical Motion and AI Regulation: A Matter of Urgency, Not Futurism



Physical Motion and AI Regulation: A Matter of Urgency, Not Futurism

You don’t need a license to ride a bicycle. It’s light, relatively slow, and poses minimal danger to others. But to drive a car? You need a license, insurance, and you must obey traffic laws. If you want to fly a plane, the barriers are even higher. And only a select few are cleared to operate spacecraft.

This layered model of physical motion—from bike to car to airplane to rocket—is a useful metaphor for artificial intelligence regulation.

AI today spans a similar spectrum. Some applications are light and low-risk, like using AI to organize your inbox or improve grammar. But as we move up the chain—autonomous vehicles, predictive policing, LLMs capable of influencing elections, or general-purpose models that can replicate, deceive, or act independently—the potential for harm increases dramatically.

We’re entering an era where AI mishaps or misuse could be as catastrophic as nuclear weapons. The threat is not theoretical. It's already here. We’ve seen how pre-ChatGPT social media platforms like Facebook facilitated massive political polarization, disinformation, and even violence. That was before AI could convincingly mimic a human. Now, AI can do more than just shape discourse—it can impersonate, manipulate, and potentially act autonomously.

The idea that we can "figure it out later" is a dangerous illusion. The pace of AI development is outstripping our institutional capacity to respond.

That’s why AI regulation must be tiered and robust, just like the licensing and oversight regimes for transportation. Open-source experimentation? Maybe like riding a bike—broadly permitted with minimal oversight. Mid-level applications with real-world consequences? More like cars—licensed, insured, and regulated. Foundation models and autonomous agents with capabilities akin to nation-state power or influence? These are the rockets. And we need to treat them with that level of seriousness.

But regulation can’t work in isolation. A single nation cannot set guardrails for a technology that crosses borders and evolves daily. Just as nuclear nonproliferation required global coordination, AI safety demands a global consensus. The U.S. and China—despite rivalry—must find common ground on AI safety standards, because failure to do so risks not only accidents but deliberate misuse that could spiral out of control. The United Nations, or a new AI-specific body, may be needed to monitor, enforce, and evolve these standards.

The leading AI companies of the world, along with the leading robotics firms, must not wait for governments to catch up. They should initiate a shared, transparent AI safety framework—one that includes open auditing, incident reporting, and collaborative model alignment. Competitive advantage must not come at the cost of existential risk.

AI is not a gadget. It is a force—one that, if unmanaged, could destabilize economies, democracies, and the human condition itself.

The urgency isn’t theoretical or decades away. The emergency is now. And we need the moral imagination, political will, and technical cooperation to meet it—before the speed of innovation outruns our collective capacity to steer.
