alt Hacker NewsI agree UN sounds like a good organization to help distribute the wealth created by AI to the world. But this idea won't be considered by the current U.S. administration. In that case what other countries can do is probably to tax the AI companies at rates higher than regular companies.

Do you really want countries like Saudi Arabia and North Korea to have a vote in wealth redistribution?

The UN is a terrible organization for that. It is a corrupt, morally bankrupt institution. Giving it any more power or legitimacy is not a net positive.
The USA helped form the UN as specifically the organisation to do exactly this kind of thing. It's a shame the current administration can't play nicely with others.
The current administration is also playing strange games about export controls (can we run Fable yet? Kinda. Maybe). I think if they keep this up they'll just be shooting the US AI industry in the foot and the Chinese models will take over as the frontier models.
Maybe the UN can levy the USA for this, and leave the USA to collect that levy from its AI companies.
