AI risks are global in nature. These powerful advanced systems could enable rogue actors to develop chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons or augment cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns; and though powerful, these systems are far from infallible. They have the potential to erroneously or intentionally make decisions that threaten human lives, not to mention that mass AI adoption threatens economic and labour disruption, and power and wealth concentration that could fundamentally alter the global economy and humans’ relationships with work and one another. These threats are not confined to the country from which the AI originates.
International governance has been slow to respond to the global risks of AI. Christo Hall presents an agile standards-setting framework, designed for the uncertainty of rapidly evolving AI, for international actors to realize and share global benefits, mitigate global risks and ensure inclusive decision making for advanced AI.
