Like nuclear non-proliferation treaties or various international bans on bioweapons, but more so. The idea is that humanity is racing full steam ahead into an AI x-risk event, so it needs to slow down, and the only way it can slow down is through an international moratorium that's signed by most nations and treated seriously, where "seriously" includes the option of signatories[0] authorizing a military strike against a facility engaged in banned AI R&D work.
In short: think of UN that works.

I see. I'm perhaps leaning skeptical most of the time, but it's hard to see how an international consensus can be reached on a topic that does not have the in-your-face type danger & fear that nuclear & bioweapons do.
(It's why I'm also pessimistic on other global consensus policies - like effective climate change action.)
I would be happy to be wrong on both counts though.
