+AI 2040 does not assign these roles to ANZ. We think ANZ should outspend its allies to build capacity in steering and model personas, cultural-alignment evaluations, industrial cyber and hacking evaluations, and locked-down border biosecurity. These areas look neglected and remain useful across several futures. Treaty verification could draw on some of the same researchers.

Australia is named among the countries that join the deal. New Zealand is not mentioned in any of the 18 supplements we checked. AI 2040 recommends warning countries that leaving would bring heavy sanctions, cyberattacks, and perhaps war.
