AI governance: opportunity and theory of impact

Abstract

AI governance concerns how society can best shape the development and use of advanced AI systems. One important goal is to avoid existential risks, which could result from highly intelligent AI systems. The authors argue that we need a broad and diverse portfolio of research and policy work to address these risks, including work on technical solutions, strategic insights, and governance institutions. They also argue that we need to build a strong community of researchers and policymakers who are working on these issues. – AI-generated abstract.
