Shaping AI’s Impact on Billions of Lives

The AI community is at risk of becoming polarized to either take a laissez-faire attitude toward AI development, or to call for government overregulation.

    Artificial Intelligence

    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.

    The California Report on Frontier AI Policy

    The innovations emerging at the frontier of artificial intelligence are poised to create historic opportunities for humanity but also raise complex policy challenges. As the epicenter of global AI innovation, California has a unique opportunity to continue supporting developments in frontier AI while addressing substantial risks that could have far-reaching consequences for the state and beyond.

    How Some of China’s Top AI Thinkers Built Their Own AI Safety Institute

    The emergence of the China AI Safety and Development Association (CnAISDA) is a pivotal moment for China’s frontier AI governance. How it navigates substantial domestic challenges and growing geopolitical tensions will shape conversations on frontier AI risks in China and abroad.

    Digital Democracy in a Divided Global Landscape

    A global shift is taking place. Leaders recognize that tech innovation equals power, and they are marshaling their resources accordingly. Countries are working to create technological advantages for themselves at the expense of digital cooperation across borders.

    The EU’s AI Power Play: Between Deregulation and Innovation

    The EU’s recent deregulatory shift risks eroding democratic oversight and the union’s norm-setting credibility. To secure Europe’s technological sovereignty, the bloc must increase investments, develop its own digital infrastructure, and regulate dual-use AI applications.
