Frontier AI may become essential infrastructure controlled by a small number of governments or companies. The unresolved task is developing ownership, access, competition, and public-interest models that prevent private or geopolitical concentration from determining global outcomes. The design must remain functional when standards, trade routes, data access, and diplomatic cooperation are unreliable. The research opportunity is to define measurable success criteria, test the approach in realistic settings, identify failure modes, and create a pathway from prototype to accountable deployment.
