The Paris AI Action summit was meant to continue the work begun at Bletchley on building global consensus around the safety and security challenges of frontier AI technologies. Instead, it revealed deep fractures in international AI governance. This could hardly have come at a worse time, as the leaders of frontier companies warn that artificial general intelligence may finally be in sight, and as the necessary cooperation between leading nations such as the USA and China looks more distant than ever. But while the Summit series may no longer play the role envisaged at Bletchley, there are still paths to avoiding a dangerous race to the bottom. A more targeted governance approach focused on security risks may prove more practical, and there are important bridging roles for states to play in building consensus between the major powers.
