As artificial intelligence (AI) changes how people around the world live and work, new frontiers for international collaboration, competition, and conflict are opening. AI can, for example, improve (or detract) from international cyber stability, optimize (or bias) cloud-based services, or guide the targeting of biotechnology toward great discoveries (or terrible abuses). Carnegie partners with governments, industry, academia, and civil society to anticipate and mitigate the international security challenges from AI. By confronting both the short-term (2-5 years) and medium-term (5-10 years) challenges, we hope to mitigate the most urgent risks of AI while laying the groundwork for addressing its slower and subtler effects.
Liberal democracies can play a much greater role in setting norms and baseline conditions for the deployment of these powerful new technologies of war.
Subnational jurisdictions are grappling with the tangible impacts that AI is beginning to have. Their efforts provide an important space to learn best practices for policy going forward.
Despite the summit’s modest expectations, Carnegie fellows saw welcomed outcomes on economic, military, and AI issues.
Driven to action by the rapid advancements in AI, summit delegates began to map the long road to balancing risk management with innovation in machine learning.
IPAIS would offer opportunities for collaboration to inform policymakers and the public on issues of AI safety.
Once the EU’s AI Act becomes law, the EU faces a long journey to successfully implementing it. We have a message for the artificial intelligence office that will likely be created to help along the way, as well as for others involved in the implementation process.
If U.S. policymakers take seriously their responsibility to curb the harm that generative AI is capable of sowing worldwide, they can help to ensure that these companies do the hard — but very necessary — work of prioritizing safety for all, not just a few.
AI’s risks—and its policy solutions—are often more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Over the past two years, China has enacted some of the world’s earliest and most sophisticated regulations targeting AI.
Artificial intelligence holds huge potential for urban-scale applications — and cities have already started to unlock them.
