🔔 The number of AI-related governance documents is rapidly proliferating, but what risks, mitigations, and other concepts do these documents actually cover?

MIT AI Risk Initiative researchers Simon Mylius, Peter Slattery, Yan Zhu, Alexander Saeri, Jess Graham, Michael Noetel, and Neil Thompson teamed up with CSET’s Mina Narayanan and Adrian Thinnyun to pilot an approach to map over 950 AI governance documents to several extensible taxonomies. These taxonomies cover AI risks and actors, industry sectors targeted, and other AI-related concepts, complementing AGORA’s thematic taxonomy of risk factors, harms, governance strategies, incentives for compliance, and application areas.

CSET’s Steph Batalis shared her expert analysis in an op-ed published by The National Interest. In her piece, she discusses how proposed federal research funding cuts threaten not only U.S. scientific progress but also the safety and security of biological research. These cuts would weaken the safeguards, oversight, and resources that protect both scientists and the public from accidents and biological threats.

CSET’s Sam Bresnick shared his expert analysis in an op-ed published by Nikkei Asia. In his piece, he explores the evolving role of U.S. technology companies in international security, particularly in times of conflict, and examines the contrast between their decisive support for Ukraine during Russia’s 2022 invasion and the uncertainty surrounding their potential response in a Taiwan-China crisis.
