The unpredictability of the Internet, computer operating systems, networks, and computer applications have often led to cybersecurity failures. AI’s growing impact on society necessitates the establishment of technical standards, institutions, and norms to ensure AI’s safe implementation and ethical foundation. With the recognition of artificial intelligence as a growing factor of modern life, it is crucial to build the AI Peace Treaty for its development and deployment through AIWS. This is an important step for the AIWS Standards and Practice Committee and toward working with the UN to call for an AI Peace Treaty.
