Mission & Interests

Goals: The Centre for the Governance of AI's mission is to positively shape the lasting impact of artificial intelligence on the world, by supporting informed and effective decision-making by private and public institutions regarding the development and deployment of artificial intelligence. This is accomplished by conducting and producing research, developing talent, advising relevant stakeholders, and organising public and non-public events. The central focus of our research is threats that general-purpose AI systems may pose to security. We seek to understand the risks they pose today, while also looking ahead to the more extreme risks they could pose in the future. Although our central focus is on threats to security, we also support research on a broader array of risks from AI including the risks of unemployment, inequality, lack of privacy, and unaccountable decision-making by companies. Our researchers have advised decision makers in government, industry, and civil society.

Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: The Centre for the Governance of AI aims to support informed and effective decision-making regarding the development and deployment of artificial intelligence. At the time of registration, engagement with the EU has been limited, and the following examples illustrate areas of possible future monitoring and engagement: - Artificial Intelligence Act - Digital Markets Act - Digital Services Act - Chips Act - Comprehensive European industrial policy on artificial intelligence and robotics
Communication Activities: Much of the research produced by the Centre for the Governance of AI is published publicly in journals, online publications, preprint servers, and on the governance.ai website. Some of these research papers have discussed EU policies and their wider impact on the governance of AI systems. Examples include: Risk management in the Artificial Intelligence Act: https://www.governance.ai/research-paper/risk-management-in-the-artificial-intelligence-act; The Brussel Effect and Artificial Intelligence: https://www.governance.ai/research-paper/brussels-effect-ai; and A 2020 Consultation on the European Commission's White Paper on Artificial Intelligence: https://www.governance.ai/research-paper/consultation-on-the-european-commissions-white-paper-on-artificial-intelligence; International Governance of Civilian AI: https://www.governance.ai/research-paper/international-governance-of-civilian-ai; And a memo about setting thresholds for general purpose AI with systemic risk. The Centre for the Governance of AI also regularly conducts surveys. Relevant work includes a survey of economists on the economic effects of AI, which contained a question on whether there will be a Brussels Effect for AI, and a public opinion survey with questions related to AI policy, part of which was conducted in the EU. The full results of both surveys have not been published at the time of registration, but preliminary results of the public opinion survey can be found on the governance.ai website: https://www.governance.ai/post/increasing-consensus-ai-requires-careful-management At the time of registration, the Centre for the Governance of AI is also preparing to conduct a survey of expert opinion on the systemic risks of AI and potential interventions for such risks, which may be used to advise the European AI Office.
