International Coordination is the substantive governance work happening at, between, and around multilateral fora: treaty negotiations, AI Safety Institute network MoUs, forum-shifting between G7 / G20 / OECD / UN, regulatory arbitrage. Distinct from any specific instrument; this is the meta-domain of how governance moves. Across 26 tracked AI-governance instruments, 7 address this topic explicitly, 5 via general principles, and 14 are silent.
Definition and scope
The substantive governance work happening at, between, and around multilateral fora: treaty negotiations, AI Safety Institute network MoUs, forum-shifting between G7 / G20 / OECD / UN, regulatory arbitrage. Distinct from any specific instrument; this is the meta-domain of how governance moves.
The cross-jurisdiction picture below shows how each of 26 tracked instruments treats this topic. The patterns vary substantially — and 14 regimes are silent, leaving gaps that future policy work could address.
Historical primacy & cross-jurisdiction tension
First addressed by White House Voluntary AI Commitments on (implicit). Subsequent regimes have either codified, diverged from, or remained silent on this baseline.
