Davey proposes international treaty and AI safety agency
Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey plans to seek an international treaty pausing superintelligent AI development.[1] City AM reported on September 21, 2026, ahead of his planned September 22 conference speech, that the proposal includes an international AI safety agency based in the United Kingdom and modelled on the International Atomic Energy Agency. Davey argues for international oversight of concentrated technological power and criticises the UK government’s newly announced AI partnership with the United States as insufficient.[2] For the existing national approach, see United Kingdom policy on catastrophic AI risk.
Senators seek inspector-general investigation of military AI errors
On September 21, 2026, Senator Jack Reed renewed calls for an inspector-general investigation into reported errors involving AI in military and intelligence operations. Speaking to CNN, Reed said Congress was still awaiting detailed information and wanted findings to inform possible legislative safeguards.[3] Reed’s office published a joint request with Senators Mark Warner and Chris Coons for unrestricted inspector-general access to examine reported targeting and intelligence failures, including a strike in Minab, Iran, and an aborted interdiction operation. The senators seek public transparency and stronger human oversight.[4] See United States policy on catastrophic AI risk for the broader governance context.
