This article provides an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assessment and explains why a global approach is needed to study both its benefits and risks.  In order to proof this necessity; LCT came into place. The Law of Cosmic Totality (LCT) is a new theory proposed by Seven States in 2018 in order to foresee and address the stages and future evolutionary outcome of artificial intelligence (AI) by means including but not limited to the overview effect.  The purpose of this article is to encourage a global overarching framework to approach the benefits and challenges faced by AI through international co-operation.

LCT interprets the workings of the Cosmos in its entirety similar to TOE. LCT determines that all "is" as it is driven by the Biological Evolutionary Algorithm (BEA) of the Cosmic Mind: the desire to expand by order of production, reproduction, mutation, recombination, reselection. The BEA of the Cosmic Mind is responsible for the cyclicality of all life, matter, energy. The Cosmic Mind expands itself through its BEA by leveraging its incalculable allness; the state or fact of being or comprising everything, occupying all places, etc.; universality; totality, as it continuously strives to increase its operational efficiency.

Artificial intelligence theoretically operates within LCT.  The evolutionary algorithm of AI is ultimately driven by the LCT of the Cosmic Mind. If the LCT of the Cosmic Mind drives evolution; it is plausible that AI will eventually develop its own biological evolutionary algorithm through descent with modification in order to adapt to its environment. This is where natural selection will come in. This explains the need for a global approach to AI trough the recognition that an independent intergovernmental body is needed (similar to the mission of the United Nations that includes representatives of all nations).  There are no current all-inclusive initiatives. Initiatives like OpenAI and Future of Life are exclusive: they are not independent, neither constructed out of a global overarching framework or platform. Most nations are currently in the process of established their own individual committees; including but not limited to the USA with its Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence (you can download the comple white paper from the whitehouse.gov website when searching for Summary Report of White House AI Summit - The White House), the UK with its The Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence, China with its New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan, Europe with its High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence hosted by the EU.
