Summary
The Centre for the Governance of AI (GovAI) at Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute conducts interdisciplinary research on AI governance challenges, drawing on political science, international relations, economics, law, and philosophy. It bridges technical AI safety research with policy analysis to advise governments, industry, and civil society on managing AI risks and capturing its benefits at national and international levels.
Key Points
- •GovAI conducts research on neglected AI governance issues including geopolitics, institutional design, and international coordination mechanisms for advanced AI.
- •The center actively engages policymakers, including testimony to the US Congress on China's AI strategy and presentations to the European Parliament on AI security.
- •Research agenda examines how technological trends and governance structures will affect development trajectories of advanced AI systems.
- •Interdisciplinary approach combines Political Science, IR, CS, Economics, Law, and Philosophy to develop robust governance frameworks.
- •GovAI later spun out as an independent organization, making this archived FHI page a historical snapshot of its origins.
