Mitigation strategy

1. Implement mandatory global safety standards through international regulatory and coordination frameworks to neutralize the competitive advantage gained by neglecting safety measures. 2. Enforce a rigorous safety assurance framework, requiring independent pre-deployment auditing, red-teaming, and continuous monitoring of advanced AI models before and after deployment. 3. Operationalize "Safety-by-Design" principles and establish clear, enforceable responsibility and accountability mechanisms for developers to prioritize safety from the inception of the AI lifecycle.
