Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 612–613, that treaties can impose binding AI obligations but are slow to negotiate, hard to amend, and often weakly enforced against private actors. A procedural treaty could begin with registration, monitoring, and audit duties before adding substantive standards. This is significant because hard law offers commitment value but must be designed for a technology that changes faster than conventional treaty processes. It connects to treaties, hard law, monitoring, private actors, procedural obligations, adaptive governance.

national AI regimes generally fall into existing-law, risk-tiering, or preapproval approaches

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 613, that national AI regimes generally fall into existing-law, risk-tiering, or preapproval approaches. These categories provide practical building blocks for international comparison and eventual convergence. This is significant because global governance will likely emerge from concrete domestic models rather than abstract agreement alone. It connects to comparative AI law, risk tiers, existing law, preapproval, policy diffusion, international standards.

the United Kingdom's context-specific, existing-law approach shows political interest but misses systemic risks

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 613–614, that the United Kingdom's context-specific, existing-law approach shows political interest but misses systemic risks. Principles, technical standards, and sector regulators can govern uses without directly supervising AI as a general technology. This is significant because application-level flexibility may preserve innovation yet leave shared upstream hazards unaddressed. It connects to United Kingdom, principles-based regulation, sector regulators, existing law, systemic risk, AI policy.

the European Union's tiered AI Act combines prohibitions, high-risk duties, transparency rules, and lighter treatment of low-risk uses

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 614–615, that the European Union's tiered AI Act combines prohibitions, high-risk duties, transparency rules, and lighter treatment of low-risk uses. Its categories demonstrate a more interventionist and differentiated model than reliance on existing law alone. This is significant because risk classification can calibrate legal burdens to expected harm while preserving broad deployment. It connects to EU AI Act, risk-based regulation, prohibited practices, high-risk systems, transparency, general-purpose AI.

the EU approach still leaves military systems, alignment, and recursive self-improvement insufficiently governed

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 615, that the EU approach still leaves military systems, alignment, and recursive self-improvement insufficiently governed. Its application-focused structure omits several pathways central to the article's systemic account. This is significant because even ambitious risk legislation can have blind spots if its taxonomy is not technology-wide. It connects to EU AI Act, military exemption, AI alignment, recursive improvement, regulatory gaps, systemic oversight.

China's generative-AI rules impose registration, data-quality, security-assessment, privacy, transparency, and content duties on public-facing providers

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 615–616, that China's generative-AI rules impose registration, data-quality, security-assessment, privacy, transparency, and content duties on public-facing providers. The model is restrictive and explicitly links AI output to state-defined social values. This is significant because strong ex ante controls are institutionally possible but can protect state ideology as readily as public safety. It connects to China, generative AI regulation, security assessment, training data, content control, public-facing services.

China's rules exclude internal and governmental AI use, leaving national-security and surveillance risks insufficiently constrained

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 616, that China's rules exclude internal and governmental AI use, leaving national-security and surveillance risks insufficiently constrained. A regime can tightly control public providers while giving the state broad freedom to deploy AI. This is significant because regulatory stringency should be evaluated by whose conduct is governed, not only by the burden imposed on firms. It connects to government AI, surveillance, national security, regulatory scope, China, state accountability.

an ICAO-style institution could coordinate technical standards where harmonization matters more than coercive inspection

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 616, that an ICAO-style institution could coordinate technical standards where harmonization matters more than coercive inspection. Civil aviation offers a softer model of international governance built around standards and recommended practices. This is significant because different AI domains may require institutions with different levels of enforcement power. It connects to ICAO, international standards, civil aviation, harmonization, AI institutions, sectoral governance.

an IAEA-style AI body could inspect systems, require audits, test compliance, and restrict dangerous deployment

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 616–617, that an IAEA-style AI body could inspect systems, require audits, test compliance, and restrict dangerous deployment. This stronger model fits contexts in which preventing catastrophic risk dominates ordinary coordination concerns. This is significant because high-consequence AI may require verification and enforcement rather than voluntary convergence alone. It connects to IAEA, international inspection, AI audits, safety standards, deployment limits, existential risk.

AI oversight is more difficult than nuclear governance because computation is diffuse, private activity is central, and development is rapid

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 617, that AI oversight is more difficult than nuclear governance because computation is diffuse, private activity is central, and development is rapid. Distributed training may evade detection, and institutions have less time to evolve through decades of revealed gaps. This is significant because international design must adapt precedents rather than copy them mechanically. It connects to distributed compute, private actors, nuclear analogy, verification, regulatory speed, institutional design.

international AI governance can operate through state obligations even without a powerful global regulator

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 617, that international AI governance can operate through state obligations even without a powerful global regulator. The Council of Europe convention illustrates a treaty model centered on privacy, transparency, auditability, safety, and security duties implemented nationally. This is significant because binding coordination can be decentralized through domestic implementation. It connects to Council of Europe, AI treaty, human rights, auditability, domestic implementation, international law.

registries, principles, standards, and domestic laws are accreting into an international AI governance network

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 618, that registries, principles, standards, and domestic laws are accreting into an international AI governance network. Connections among institutions can support information sharing, coordination, and norm formation before a single global authority exists. This is significant because polycentric governance may be a realistic route to stronger international rules. It connects to governance networks, polycentric regulation, norm building, information sharing, technical standards, international cooperation.

comprehensive regulation is necessary to realize AI's benefits while addressing present harm, future disruption, misuse, and misalignment

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 618–619, that comprehensive regulation is necessary to realize AI's benefits while addressing present harm, future disruption, misuse, and misalignment. The article combines domestic principles, litigation, international cooperation, and calibrated secrecy into one program. This is significant because the risk taxonomy and institutional design are mutually supporting parts of the same systemic thesis. It connects to comprehensive regulation, AI benefits, misalignment, domestic governance, international cooperation, risk taxonomy.

epistemic humility supports robust systemic regulation rather than passivity

Professor Yonathan Arbel claims, in the coauthored article “Systemic Regulation of Artificial Intelligence” on pages 619, that epistemic humility supports robust systemic regulation rather than passivity. When the safety of a powerful system is deeply uncertain, the authors analogize deployment to boarding a plane of unknown safety. This is significant because uncertainty about unknown unknowns can justify institutional caution against market pressure for fragmented rules. It connects to epistemic humility, unknown unknowns, systemic regulation, market pressure, precaution, AI governance.
